Is there a way to delete a block of interfaces besides clicking individually?

I'm sure I'm not wording this well. But what I want: we have zero interest in a number of interfaces found for each computer. For example, anything that says "WAN Miniport (IP) -or IPv6- QosPacketScheduler-000 etc etc etc". Or an ISATAP tunnelling interface. Or a RAS Async device. We'll never use those, so I have no need of them taking up licenses. But I have no idea if there is anyway to delete these unwanted interfaces, besides manually looking at every computer and choosing them. Which can be more than daunting, when you have a couple hundred devices you're scanning/monitoring ...

On a related note, if there is some way for to mark those devices as IGNORE, so they don't show up on a scan afterward, that would be ideal.

Is there any way to do what I want, or am I stuck hand-editing each computer to delete out the uncared-for interfaces?

Thanks

go to manage nodes, switch to interfaces view using the pull down at the top. then use the search box to enter a pattern that exist in all interfaces and you are there (just select al and delete)

to stop the re-discovering... don;t think u can, except they prob all have the same interface type, so you could just deselect them when scaning the same nodes... but no nice pretty way to do it as far as i know

I honestly didn't know I could do that. DUH! So simple, once you're shown how ... Thanks!

Well, I think I can just choose to import anything FOUND, as opposed to CHANGED. Not ideal, and I'd have to remember to include anything we deliberately changed (i.e., added new hard drives to, etc).

Thanks, you just made my day a whole lot easier. :-)
