Computer Excluded by Target Filters

Purpose

PDQ Deploy either gave you the error "Computer Excluded by Target Filters" or "Target Excluded by Target Filters".

Background

The PDQ Deploy server likely has either an Exclusions or Inclusions filter that is preventing the target(s) from receiving the deployment.

Resolution

The filter must be changed to allow the deployment to continue. To modify your defined filters go to the Target Filters panel under Preferences. (note the two different tabs: Exclusions and Inclusions). In the example below, any computer named "homer" or any computer that has a name which begins with mail-v or svr-dc would be excluded from deployments.
