Target Filter shows as failed

Is it possible to set PDQ Deploy so that if you have a computer excluded by a target filter, it won't show up in the deployment report as "Failed" We have a lot of exclusions, so we're getting like 100+ failures on each deployment, when many of those have already been excluded. Thanks.

  • I have been begging for this as well. It really messes with reporting when I know that the machine is going to fail, as I have excluded it.

  • I will put this in as an internal feature request. In the meantime, I suggest creating a collection in PDQ Inventory as a filter so you don't deploy to those targets at all. You could either create a Dynamic collection with filters like "Computer | Name | Does Not Contain | Stuff", or you could create a Static Collection with the targets you want to avoid and a Dynamic collection with a Group Filter of "Not All" and a Value Filter of "Member of Collection | Name | Equals | the static collection you just created".

  • Hi!

    I have created a Dynamic Collection with all Computers which are connected via VPN. (Different IP address)

    I would like to exclue this Group now in PDQ Deploy. Any Idea how i can do this right now?

  • Create a Dynamic Collection that references your VPN collection like my screenshot.

  • Thanks, it works for my Dynamic Collections.

    But it will not work for the Collection Library right?

  • You can modify the collection to include targets that are a member of the collection from the Collection Library that you want.
