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.

What is Adm in this context?

Stu;

..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.

The only advice I have seen on here relating to your issue has been a
recommendation to take a look at MS Forefront Client Security.
