Kiran, be sure and tell us what platform you are runnng on.
Netview does not (or is not supposed to) to this by itself. You may be
doing it
inadvertently by managing a higher-level object, like the network or
segment
that they belong to. Or you may have more than one map, and the user of
another map is managing them. If it truly is doing this, call Support.
I would take Dave's advice and not discover them if you do not intend to
manage them. Exclude as many as you can by address range in the
seedfile, and if that is not effective, exclude them by oid (on Unix):
!@oid 0 # exclude non-snmp things
!@oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.* # exclude Microsoft things
Stop netmon, find the things you don't want (a collection is a good way to
find them all at once), Edit..Delete from all submaps; repeat on all maps
if you have more than one; wait for the deletion events to hit the events
display; ovtopofix -a; ovstart. And they won't come back.
Cordially,

Kiran,
Either do one of two things:
1. Exclude these PCs in the nvseedfile for discovery.
2. If they have SNMP agents on the PCs, change the community string to
something other than public.
Dave
P.S. I would recommend step 1 as the one to go with.

Subject: Unmanaged PCs turn up Managed every day???
NV/OV Gurus,
We have a situation where we do not want to manage a bunch of PCs.
We have
them unmanaged.
Netview is changing the status of these PCs back to "Managed" and
is
starting to generate Node Down events for these nodes. I have been
unmanaging these PC's regularly, and Netview seems to be flipping
the status
and I am getting tons of node down events for these PCs
Did anyone encounter a situation like this?? How did you keep
Netview from
managing certain devices?
Wonder why Netview insists on managing certain devices.
Happy Holidays,
Kiran Goparaju
