Issue/Introduction

On the endpoint agent channel filter, you are attempting to exclude all shares on a given server from being scanned.

You enter the server FQDN of the server and a wildcard to exclude all shares, but you receive the 'Network share path filter entered is invalid' message in the console and cannot save the path. eg:

\\myservername\*

Environment

Release : 15.x

Cause

The syntax is incorrect.

Resolution

You must add a share name and a path to exclude. Both can be wildcards eg:

\\myservername\*\*
