I have just started using blueprints. My first blueprint enforces macOS Software Update settings and getting Macs updated to the latest macOS version that we are ready to put into production. In all my testing this is working very well. Unlike with policies and profiles, I don’t see a way to exclude computers. There are some “VIPs” that we treat differently (though I think everyone should be treated the same!) who I will likely have to exclude. I can do some manipulation with the groups that I scope the blueprints to but that will cause other management issues later on. Is there a good way exclude computers?

Can we exclude computers from blueprints?

Yep so create your smart group and have a static group (or other groups) listed as not a part of. That will allow you to exclude them.

This is what I had in mind. It’s interesting that we can’t exclude systems directly. Jamf frowns on nested smart groups but when I use them, I keep them limited.
+27Super cool right!
