Drop Temporary SCCM scripts in Windows Events

On the universal forwarders, I need a regex pattern to drop Powershell temporary script events in splunk.  I'm trying to use the "Message" object to filter out the following example:

Script Name = C:\\WINDOWS\\CCM\\SystemTemp\\1b71bac2-99a4-4075-a96e-9ecc803443f5.ps1

So far, my blacklist stanza is:  
blacklist1 = EventCode = "4103" Message="C:\\\\WINDOWS\\\\CCM\\\\SystemTemp\\\\.*\.ps1"

But this does not seem to work.  Help please!

Hi @Lynn_01 

I think you need to adjust the formatting of your blacklist entry in inputs.conf.

Remove the spaces around the inner = characters and the over-escaping of the backslashes.

...
... blacklist1 = EventCode="4103" Message="C:\\WINDOWS\\CCM\\SystemTemp\\.*\.ps1
