Delete devices from OpenManage Enterprise
NOTE:
• A device on which a profile is assigned cannot be deleted unless the profile is unassigned from it. For more
information, see Unassign profiles on page 78.
• A device can be deleted even when tasks are running on it. Any tasks initiated on a device fails if the device is deleted
before the completion of the tasks.
To delete the discovered devices:
1. In the left pane, select the devices.
2. In the devices list, select the check box corresponding to the devices, and then click Delete.
3. When prompted indicating that the devices will be globally excluded, click YES.
The device is deleted and not anymore monitored by OpenManage Enterprise.
After device deletion, all onboarding information corresponding to the deleted devices is removed. The user credential information is
automatically deleted if it is not shared with other devices. If OpenManage Enterprise was set as a trap destination on a remote device
that has been deleted, you can remove OpenManage Enterprise from the remote device.

Exclude devices from OpenManage Enterprise
NOTE:
To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.
Devices are grouped for efficient handling of repeated tasks such as firmware update, discovery, and inventory generation. However, you
can exclude a device so that the excluded device does not participate in any of these activities because it is not monitored by
OpenManage Enterprise. This task is similar to the global exclusion. See Globally excluding device(s) from discovery results.
