Your weekly scheduled discoveries consistently detect 5 Windows 10 workstations. What can you do to remove those devices from being discovered in the future?

• A. Add to Ignore List
• B. Delete from Inventory
• C. Disable Discovery for the Entire Network
• D. Move to a Separate Network

Answer: (A)

The situation tests how to stop specific devices from being picked up during automatic network discovery. The right approach is to add those Windows 10 workstations to an Ignore List. By placing them on the ignore list, the discovery process will skip them in future scans, so they won’t reappear in automatic discoveries while the rest of your network continues to be discovered as usual. This is precise, non-destructive, and preserves your existing inventory and monitoring setup for the other devices. Deleting from inventory removes them from the current record, but they would be rediscovered the next time discovery runs, so it doesn’t prevent future detections. Disabling discovery for the entire network stops all discovery, which is too broad and would impact every device. Moving devices to a separate network might isolate them, but it doesn’t guarantee they’re excluded from discovery unless the discovery scope is tightly redefined, and it adds management overhead.
