Question

Smart Computer Groups > Static Computer Groups - Logic Question


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

So here is what I am trying to do; let's see if I can get some assistance because I don't think it is working correctly.

Background Info

Static Computer Groups:

1 - Name > This group has X computers assigned.

2 - Name > This group has X computers assigned.

3 - Name > This group has X computers assigned.

4 - Name > This group has X computers assigned.

 

Smart Computer Groups:

Created a couple groups to look at these Static groups; 

Members of 1 but not in 2,3 or 4.

Members of 2 but not in 1,3 or 4.

Members of 3 but not in 1,2 or 4.

Members of 4 but not in 1,2 or 3.

 

So the logic I was using is the following; but not sure if it is outputting correctly. 

AND/OR CRITERIA OPERATOR VALUE

(
Computer Group

member of
1
and
Computer Name
is
2

)

or

(
Computer Group

member of
1

and

Computer Group

member of
3

)

or

(
Computer Group

member of
1
and

Computer Group

member of
4

)

Not sure if that makes sense; tried to export it, but the paste is over 20k characters.

@danielwnewman For the 1st of your Smart Computer Groups it'd be:

        Criteria                     Operator          Value

        Computer Group     member of      Static Group 1

and   Computer Group     not member of Static Group 2

and   Computer Group     not member of Static Group 3

and   Computer Group     not member of Static Group 4

Use the same sort of logic for the other Smart Groups

You haven't really explained what you're trying to do or what's not working. What's the end result you're after and what smart group settings have you tried so far?

Sdagley - so that is what I originally had but doesnt output correctly.

@danielwnewman That logic should work, so you might want to go back and re-try it if that's what you started with. Note that there are no uses of ( or ) in that Smart Group definition.

Is there a way to build a SmCG to track if computers are a member of some sort of StCG? We have a lot of StCG to assign Software or is there a better way to don't assign Computers directly to Software Policies e.g.?
