Point 1 - It will depend on how you onboarded devices and what tool are you using to apply the policies, but in general policies should apply to just the onboarded devices.
Point 2 - Again, it will depend on how are you applying the policies, but if we take Intune as the example, then yes you should be able to exclude a group of devices in assignments.

Thanks for your response.
The devices are onboarded through SCCM. We have created the policies in Endpoint Manager portal (security.microsoft.com).

- micheleariisAug 06, 2024Steel ContributorHi, policies are applied only on the managed devices; if you are still using SCCM I guess you have a co-management mode; I usually for policies I make sure to assign them to all devices by default and add a security group where I go to enter the devices\users to be excluded from that policy; this way I am sure that security policies are always assigned.
