Exclusion Filter

Use the Exclusion Filter dialog to specify identification criteria for any PCs you want to omit from Client deployment.

To create an Exclusion Filter:

1    In the Exclusions 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.

    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. The filter details are listed in the Exclusions 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.
