Description
This article explains when the usage of "Excluded Shared Device IPs" would be needed
Scenario
If User A logs into a workstation, then we show User A associated with the workstation under Identity and Location. If User A Logs in to Server R to pull mail, we will then also associate and attach User A with Server R. This will repeat with other users as well. Thus it will associate the following together:
Workstation 1 -- User A
Workstation 2 -- User B
Server R -- User A
Server R -- User B
Because there are multiple people who log into remote servers, Identity and Location does not need to display who is logging onto Server R all the time.
Hence we would Exclude the Share Device IP in order to minimize confusion as well as reduce performance cost to AO.
