Excluding a site, group, or device from a group scope is not the same as removing the item from the scope. When you exclude an item, you are excluding something that was not directly added to the scope, but would have been added to the group as a result of an associated site or group being included in the scope.
To exclude sites from the scope
In Service Center, click Service Delivery > Groups.
- Click the name of the group from which you would like to exclude a site.
- Click the Auto-Inclusion tab.
- In the Exclusions area, under Sites, click Add.
- In the Add Sites (Exclusions) window, select the check box beside each site you want to exclude from the group scope.
- Click Add.
- Click Save.

To exclude devices from the scope
You can exclude devices from both site groups and service groups.
