    Hi Rising Flight

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    I understand you're looking for guidance on which files and folders should be excluded from antivirus scanning for Exchange Server 2019. I’ve looked into this and found a helpful Microsoft article that outlines the recommended exclusions. 

    You can find the details here: Running Windows antivirus software on Exchange servers | Microsoft Learn 

    This article provides a comprehensive list of file paths, processes, and folders that should be excluded to ensure Exchange runs smoothly without interference from antivirus scans. 

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.
