Exclusion Filter
Use the Exclusion Filter dialog to identify any PCs you want to omit from automatic Client deployment.
To create an exclusion filter:
1 In the Exclusions tab of the Automatic Client Deployment dialog, click Add. The Exclusion Filter dialog is displayed.
2 In the Apply filter to list, select the Client kit you want to exclude.
3 Enter the identification criteria for the PCs you want to exclude:
To
exclude a specific domain or organizational unit, enter the name of the domain or organizational unit
in the Distinct field.
Select Exclude inherit Organizational Units if you do not want to exclude nodes belonging to any child units in the filter.
To
exclude specific nodes, select Wildcard match and enter a name string. You can use the asterisk
character as a wildcard. For example, to exclude all nodes that have the string TEST in their name, type
*TEST*.
To
exclude PCs by IP address enter a Range. You can specify a range in the form 90.0.0.128 - 90.0.0.255
or you can use a wildcard. For example, 192.168.31.0 - 192.168.31.255 is the same as 192.168.31.*.
4 Click OK to save your filter and close the dialog.
Notes
Filter
options can be used in combination to narrow the range of PCs identified by a filter. For example, if
you specify a domain of Engineering and a node name of NewPC*, the filter will exclude only
those PCs whose name begins with the string New PC and which belong to the Engineering domain.
Exclusion
filters apply to all profiles.
