Exclude a device

  • Článek

To avoid end-user disruption, excluding a device in Windows Autopatch only deletes the Windows Autopatch device record itself. Excluding a device can't delete the Microsoft Intune and/or the Microsoft Entra device records. Microsoft assumes you'll keep managing those devices yourself in some capacity.

When you exclude a device from the Windows Autopatch service, the device is flagged as excluded so Windows Autopatch doesn't try to restore the device into the service again, since the exclusion command doesn't trigger device membership removal from the Windows Autopatch Device Registration group, or any other Microsoft Entra group, used with Autopatch groups.

Important

The Microsoft Entra team doesn't recommend appending query statements to remove specific device from a dynamic query due to dynamic query performance issues.

To exclude a device:

  1. Sign into the Intune admin center.
  2. Select Windows Autopatch in the left navigation menu.
  3. Select Devices.
  4. In either the Ready or Not ready tab, select the device(s) you want to exclude.
  5. Once a device or multiple devices are selected, select Device actions. Then, select Exclude device.

Warning

Excluding devices from the Windows Autopatch Device Registration group, or any other Microsoft Entra group, used with Autopatch groups doesn't exclude devices from the Windows Autopatch service.

Only view excluded devices

You can view the excluded devices in the Not registered tab to make it easier for you to bulk restore devices that were previously excluded from the Windows Autopatch service.

To view only excluded devices:

  1. Sign into the Intune admin center.
  2. Select Windows Autopatch in the left navigation menu.
  3. Select Devices.
  4. In the Not registered tab, select Excluded from the filter list. Leave all other filter options unselected.

Restore a device or multiple devices previously excluded

To restore a device or multiple devices previously excluded:

  1. Sign into the Intune admin center.
  2. Select Windows Autopatch in the left navigation menu.
  3. Select Devices.
  4. In the Not registered tab, select the device(s) you want to restore.
  5. Once a device or multiple devices are selected, select Device actions. Then, select Restore excluded device.
