Exclude devices from OpenManage Enterprise

Devices are discovered and grouped in OpenManage Enterprise for efficient handling of repeated tasks such as firmware updates, configuration updates, inventory generation, and alert monitoring. However, you can also exclude the devices from all OpenManage Enterprise discovery, monitoring, and management activities. The following steps describe how to exclude the already discovered devices from OpenManage Enterprise.

1. Go to the All Devices screen by clicking Devices.
2. In the left pane, select the system group or the custom group whose device must be excluded.
3. In the devices list, select the check box corresponding to the device(s), and then from Discovery drop-down menu and click Exclude Devices.
4. At the prompt indicating that the devices will be entirely removed and added to the Global-Exclusion list, click YES.
