You can refer to what I am saying in regards to how Windows Defender exclusion will be treated by the processexclusion flag in here: I thought by process exclusion section MS wants to exclude the actual processes from being scanned in here. Hey Paul, slight thing I noticed that wanted to bring to your attention (and perhaps I am wrong), is that the process exclusions the way its implemented will not exclude the processes but rather the files they touch (See below Defender link in next paragraph about what I mean).

It works the same way as the 2013 version, you run the script locally on a server in the Exchange Management Shell, and then use the output files to configure your antivirus software manually or by importing the lists (Update: when installing Exchange 2016 CU3 or later on Windows Server 2016 you can also use the script to automatically configure the exclusions in Windows Defender). Today I’ve published a new script for generating Exchange 2016 antivirus exclusions. Thanks to Matt K for pointing out several of the changes.

This recommendation is made to reduce the likelihood of your Exchange server experiencing a failure due to antivirus software locking a file or folder in a way that prevents Exchange from doing what it is trying to do. It is a recommended practice to configure any antivirus software running on Exchange servers to exclude specific paths, processes, and file types.
