A word of caution however is this will also keep you from discovering any other machines out there that you don't add manually. <BR /><BR />If that doesn't work, I believe you could create a collection group if the names remain the same or similiar and then do a system\event driven task to remove them on a regular basis.

The servers routinely get automatically picked up by SIM and added. I am not running any automated discovery tasks and can not identify where/how to keep this from happening. <BR />Is there a way to create a task that whil remove specified devices from SIm on a scheduled basis?
