Thanks Stefan, So I can do a check on hostname and exclude that one system.

I have something similar on a package basis. <package id="Java" name="Java" revision="2011.10.22" reboot="false" priority="10" execute="once"> <include package-id="JRE6" os="5\.0\.\d{4}"/> <include package-id="JRE7"> <condition> <check type="logical" condition="not"> <check type="host" condition="os" value="5\.0\.\d{4}"/> </check> </condition> </include> </package> Every other package s depending or including the Java package, which in turn only includes the appropriate JRE packages. The same can be done at the profile level. -- Stefan P. Top-posting: A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
