Many ways, here are a few quick ones, not necessarily right for your situation (because we don’t know what that is):

in your “Take Action” targeting:

create a dynamic group that does not include your excluded computers, and target that group

in your relevance:

AND NOT (computer name = “”)

in your action:

if {not computer name = “” }

…

endif

in your action (opt 2) (will “fail” on excluded computer):

continue if {not computer name = “” }

Wingguy,

Can you please explain more what you are trying to do? Do you mean you want to exclude an action from running on those machines, or do you mean you want to prevent a Fixlet from ever becoming relevant?

I am trying to create a policy fixlet but would like to exclude this fixlet to install on certain PCs.

Hi Winguy,

I’m sorry but I need you to be more specific in answering my question before I can give you a correct answer.

Would you like the Fixlet to be come relevant on all machines but avoid remediating certain machines?

If so, you should use the targeting options in the Take Action Dialog when issuing your remediation action to avoid unwanted machines executing the policy.

If you would like the Fixlet to never become relevant at all on certain machines, then there are several options to pursue depending on your specific requirements.

Ok. We don’t have a specific built-in per fixlet exemption system just yet, although it’s certainly on the feature request list.

If this is a custom fixlet that you have created, the best thing to do is probably to place the Fixlet in a custom site and only subscribe the computers you would like to remediate to the custom site.

  1. Create a group that excludes the specific computers

  2. Create a custom site to hold the Fixlet

  3. Subscribe only computers in the group to the custom site

  4. Add site subscription relevance to the Fixlet relevance: exists site whose (type of it = “Custom Site” and site tag of it = “CustomSite_”)

  5. Put the Fixlet in the custom site
