This checks need to exclude in 8 servers.

There could be many possibilities:

• You can use computer name relevance to filter out device which you want to exclude, example:

name of computer != "YourDeviceName"

OR

(it as string as lowercase does not contain "YourDeviceCommonThing" as lowercase) of name of computer

• if its one time requirement & you want to exclude few machines, example:

(computer name as uppercase) is not contained by set of (("Server1";"Server2";"Server3") as uppercase)

• If its a frequent requirement, you can create a computer group & exclude whole group from it, example:

Relevance - computer group membership

That thread actually had a couple of separate pieces of relevance in the query. The check for `__Group_X_xxxx’ settings only applies to Manual (and possibly Server-Based) groups. For Automatic Groups you have to check the headers of relevant fixlets - (unique values of it) of ((values of headers "subject" of relevant fixlets whose (value of header "X-Fixlet-Type" of it = "ComputerGroup") of sites)

• You may also try client-setting based exclusion based on a fixlet or the entire site.
