    Hi, Yes. When you create maintenance configurations to update the servers you have option for excluding packages. You do not have to exclude the name of each update one by one you could just enter value like 'Inter - Other Hardware*'. That way every package that starts with that name will be excluded. It is best to keep an eye on new patches in case they appear as some other names besides those mentioned. Linux machines does not have such detailed classifications like Windows machines thus it is best to use exclusions based on the package names.
