Excluding Files with Specific Extensions

AdminStudio 2023 | 25.0 | Repackager | Exclusions Editor

Edition:This feature is available in AdminStudio Professional and Enterprise Editions.

To exclude files with specific extensions from the exclusion list, perform the following steps.

To exclude files with specific extensions from the exclusion list:

1.

Launch the Exclusions Editor and open an exclusions file by performing the steps listed in Launching Exclusions Editor:

2.

On the Files tab, click New. The File Exclusion Information dialog box opens.

3.

In the File Exclusion Information dialog box, enter or browse to the directory containing the files you want to exclude. If you want to exclude files with a certain extension from all directories, enter an asterisk (*) for the Path value.

4.

Enter an asterisk followed by the extension you want excluded in the Excluded Files field. For example, if you want to exclude all .bak files, enter *.bak. If you want to exclude multiple file types from the same directory (or from all directories), separate each exclusion with a pipe (|).

5.

Click OK to close the File Exclusion Information dialog box. The new exclusion appears in the Files tab.

6.

Save the exclusions file as described in Launching Exclusions Editor:

Note:When configuring file exclusions for Repackager, you are only configuring Repackager to automatically mark the file as excluded; this can be changed from within Repackager on a file-by-file basis. However, when configuring file exclusions for the OS Snapshot Wizard, files in the exclusion list are not captured in the OS snapshot file.
