    I am suggesting you if you are not be sure then try it in test enviornment.

    If you are not have a test enviornment then create a new group and apply the same policy here.

    Add the device id of that device in the exclude column.

    Follow the below Symantec article to make it easy for the access.

    create a test group and test the policy before applying to all the groups.
