You could turn off the auto install of SCCM client across the board.

Subject: [mssms] RE: Prevent Install of SCCM Agent

Why are you wanting to not install the client? Is there something you could 
control with client settings instead such as disabling software distribution or 
patching? Disable inventory, etc?

Subject: [mssms] Prevent Install of SCCM Agent

Hey guys – Working with a client on a question of how to block the SCCM agent 
installation on a subset of machines.

It looks like the assumption is that we can’t move them into a different OU, 
Client Push account is domain admin (can’t remove rights), and can’t move it 
into a network that is not in a boundary.

I saw that there was a server side reg key you can create to prevent the 
installation, however that isn’t going to scale to the number of machines that 
we need to work on.

Will the NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file block the install of the client? For 
instance, if there is only 1 logical drive, and the NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file 
exists on the root of that drive, will that prevent the SCCM agent from 
installing?
