Business Pro 7.x Client Won't Save "Expert Settings"

Avast Business Avast Endpoint Protection
1

Program version 7.0.1455

Running on Windows XP Pro and Windows 2000 Pro.

I am using the SOA to administer clients–however, I am trying to save settings locally.

I have tried to save such “Expert Settings” as:

File System Shield>Scan When Writing>Scan Files with Default Extensions (unchecked)

and

File System Shield>Exclusions>[some local path inside C:\Program Files]

I make these changes, press OK, and log out of the client. If I immediately log back into the client, my changes are sometimes still there. But if I wait and log back in a few minutes later, my changes are gone.

This is causing a huge problem on some computers; it is slowing certain operations way down.

I never had this problem with Avast! Pro 4.8.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Settings cannot be saved locally, must be done in the Administration Console, it will over write local settings almost immediately.

Thank you.

However, I do not see any way to configure these types of settings in the Console. For example, in the console “Exclusions” only apply to “scheduled” or “manual” scans. I need to configure an exclusion that applies to every scan conducted by the File System Shield. I cannot find any option to edit the actions of this shield in the Console. All I can do there is turn it on or off.

Furthermore, I am trying to stop the File System Shield from accessing particular folders; how do I tell the Console which folders those are on workstations?

Please advise.

Thanks.
