You can use a negative hostname wildcard in the seedfile.
Read the admin guide regarding the seedfile, hostnames and (negative)
wildcards.
My experience has been that negative wildcards MUST be a subset of a
positive wildcard as in the example below.
 
Example:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------
 
10.1.*.*               # Discover all nodes on the 10.1.*.* network
(required)
!ws*                    # Exclude ws<abc.xyz.com>
 
There are several ways to do this using various wildcards

Is there a way to have auto discovery on, but have it limited to not
discovering workstations if my workstation names follow a standard
convention.  In other words is there a way to use a "noDiscovery" file that
lists what not to discovery?

Thanks,
