Is there an adm or script that I can run to exclude certain files or
locations from Windows Defender? The current available adm does not include
that functionality.
Thanks.

..ADM files are template files that are used by Group Policies to describe
where registry-based policy settings are stored in the registry. ADM files
also describe the user interface that administrators see in the Group
Policy Object Editor snap-in. Group Policy Object Editor is used by
administrators when they create or modify Group Policy objects (GPOs).

Use notepad to edit (look at) your C:WINDOWS/inf/windowsdefender.adm file,
scroll to the bottom and you'll see the explanations for the GPO controls.
Close that notepad window without saving when your through. I know what it
does, but have never done it, so perhaps a Sysadmin can add more...
 
The current Group Policy file for windows defender does not any options for
file or folder exclusions. I was wondering if someone created a custom
policy file or had some script to handle exclusions.

wonderful thing ;)
