## Share all details about your problem, including any error messages you may have received.

_I have a use case in which I have to filter out two specific groups at the time of Aggregation. Is there any way through which I can do it without writing any kind of rule._

If it is for AD type of connector, then you can use Group FilterQuery to achieve this usecase.

@Jadhikary Please use below filter to exclude the groups:  
`(&(objectClass=group)(!(cn=ExcludedGroupName1))(!(cn=ExcludedGroupName2)))`

@Jadhikary

Try this query. I have been using this in my environment and it works.

```auto
(&
    (objectClass=group)
    (!(distinguishedName=CN-Value-Group1))
    (!(distinguishedName=CN-Value-Group2))
)

```
