Optimizing the Endpoint Security Client for Servers and Profiles

Servers such as exchange servers, database servers, domain controllers, and additional profiles like Exclude ConnectWise and Not a Virus need specific settings in the Endpoint Security client for proper data security and processing (allowing and blocking).

To automatically apply these specific optimization settings to the Endpoint Security client when installed on a server, follow these steps:

  1. Select the EndPoint for Server Optimization option for the policy rule.
  2. Specify the servers for which you want to select this option.

    This action assigns the Windows server roles to the server and profile roles to the additional profiles, containing pre-defined exclusions (based on Microsoft and Check Point's recommendations) and server-specific processes applied by the policy.
