Approve for all computers but exempt one via Rule Editor.

rfiscus

I am trying to send an approval to all computers and then on the Prerequisite Rules, I am trying to block it from installing on a particular computer(s).

I am using Registry String Value Not Rule

Registry Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName

Registry Value ComputerName (tried both 32-bit and not 32-bit registry)

Comparison Equals

String Value RealComputerName

I really thought this would work but it still installs on that computer, is there a better way to block it from installing on one or possibly two computers?  We have several hundred computers that all get a piece of software installed with only a couple computers that need the exception.

Message was edited by: . rfiscSo I corrected it by saying when any not when all apply and now it works fine.

The rules may end up being a better way but If those 1 or 2 PCs never need it I would just make a target group like No Java or whatever you arent installing and then dont approve it for that group
