Issue:
For how long are the items (files) stored in quarantine by Business Suite – Client Security or Server Security? Can the time duration be changed / modified / adjusted?
Resolution:
By default Business Suite Client Security and Server Security products store the files in the quarantine for 30 days. This setting can be changed from the Policy Manager Console:
- Log in to the Policy Manager Console
- Select a host or policy domain from the domain tree
- Go to the Settings tab
- Navigate to the Windows > Quarantine management settings page
- Change the Remove items Older Than value
- Distribute the policy (Ctrl + D)
If you want to disable the quarantine from removing old items automatically. you can from the same settings view disable the Remove Old items Automatically setting.
