Adding an exclusion to an Application Management Group
You can add a target as an exclusion to remove it from
the Application Management Group. When the Application Management
Group is deployed, the tasks are distributed only to the targeted
computer groups and not to the excluded computer group.
About this task
Only one exclusion can be added for each Application Management
Group. An existing exclusion is overwritten each time you add an exclusion.
Procedure
Select the Application Management Group to which you want
to add an exclusion.
Note: If the status of the selected
Application Management Group is Deployed, you must deploy the
Application Management Group again after you add the exclusion. For
more information, see Deploying Application Management Groups.
Open the Add an Exclusion dialog.
There are two ways to add an exclusion from this dashboard:
Click Add Exclusion from the Application Management Groups tab.
Click Exclusion > Add Exclusion.

Example

excluded from an Application Management Group.
Note: The letters refer
to individual computers.
Target1: Computer Group 1 (A, B)
Target2: Computer Group 2 (B, C)
Target3: Computer Group 3 (C, D)
Exclusion: Computer Group 2 (B, C)
As a result,
no computers in Computer Group 2 are applicable. When the Application
Management Group is deployed, the tasks are distributed only to computers
A and D.
