Auto-Discovery without Sensors?

Is it possible to set up an auto-discovery without it automatically adding sensors? Tried setting up an empty device template, but didn't have any success.

Why would you do that, could you elaborate your use case? :)

I have some subnets that I would like PRTG to automatically scan and show within the total device count, but they may not necessarily need to be monitored (like user workstations).

Hmmm, that's not possible I'm afraid. At least the Generic Device (Ping Only) would work here. But you'll "waste" one Sensor for it per device :)
