Default inclusions and exclusions

September 25, 2020
Contributed by:

This topic describes the default items that Profile Management includes in and excludes from its processing. Depending on the applications in your deployment, extra (non-default) items might be required. To help you determine which extra items you include or exclude, see Which applications?

Important: If you use Group Policy rather than the .ini file (or you are rolling out a Group Policy deployment after a successful test with the .ini file), unlike the installed .ini file, no items are included or excluded by default in the .adm or .admx file. You must add the default items manually to the file. These items are shown in the tables in this topic. Note the following:

  • Use Profile Management policies to map setting names in the .ini file and the .adm or .admx file, and to understand how the Profile Management variables (for example, !ctx_internetcache!) expand
  • When pasting inclusions and exclusions from the .ini file, remove the trailing = (equals sign) from each item
  • Do not add an initial backslash to inclusions and exclusions
