How to omit certain object changes from being reported?
The Server Configuration Change Reporter provides the option to exclude certain data from the reports. In the product installation folder, you can find a number of files named omit***.txt. For example, the file called omitregkeys.txt contains a list of registry keys that are not stored in the Server Configuration Change Reporter snapshot. Each one of these omit files contains examples of the file’s use (special symbols used: * - any symbol, # - comment, this line will not be processed).
Examples from the omitpathlist.txt:
