To remove a device from the global exclusion list:

a. Select the check box and click Remove from Exclusion.

b. When prompted, click YES. The device is removed from the global exclusion list. However, a device removed from the global

exclusion list is not automatically monitored by OpenManage Enterprise. You must discover the device so that OpenManage

Enterprise starts monitoring.

NOTE: Adding devices that are already known to the console (meaning, already discovered by the console) to the Global

Exclusion List will remove the device(s) from OpenManage Enterprise.

NOTE: Devices listed in the Global Exclusion List are excluded from all tasks in the console. If the IP of a device is in the

Global Exclusion List and a discovery task is created where the range for discovery includes that IP, that device is not

discovered. However, there will be no error indication on the console when the discovery task is being created. If you

expect that a device must be discovered and it is not, you must check the Global Exclusion List to see if the device has

been included in the Global Exclusion List.
