Creating a smart group for systems not compatible with Big Sur

Hello I'm still learning. I have created a smart group with systems that were compatible with Big Sur which I got this value

(MacBook(10|9|8)|MacBookAir(10|[6-9])|MacBookPro1[1-7]|Macmini[7-9]|MacPro[6-7]|iMacPro1),\d|iMac(14,4|1[5-9],\d|20,\d)

 

I was wondering how I could get the opposite of it. Like create a smart group with systems that aren't compatible with Big Sur. I'm still new to this well at least with the regex stuff on finding the hardware. Thank you any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can clone the smart group and just change the qualifier to does not match regex and have that same regex as the compatible computers in the criteria and it would show you computers that are incompatible.

Can anyone assist with adding the new iMac to this regex?  We have a few Apple M1's iMac (24-inch,M1,2021). Model Identifier:iMac21,1.  Not sure how to fix by adjusting the regex.  Any help would be appreciated.

(MacBook(10|9|8)|MacBookAir(10|[6-9])|MacBookPro1[1-7]|Macmini[7-9]|MacPro[6-7]|iMacPro1),\d|iMac(14,4|1[5-9],\d|20,\d)

@jschank This will match the iMac model identifier:

(MacBook(10|9|8)|MacBookAir(10|[6-9])|MacBookPro1[1-7]|Macmini[7-9]|MacPro[6-7]|iMacPro1),\d|iMac(14,4|1[5-9],\d|2[0-1],\d)

This one can be used for macOS Monterey.

It's reversed so it will match all systems NOT compatible with Monterey so no need to modify it when new models are released.

 

(iMac[1-9],\d|iMac1[0-5],[0-4]|MacBook[1-8],\d|MacBookAir[1-6],\d|MacBookPro[1-9],\d|MacBookPro[01]{2},[0-3]|Macmini[1-6],\d|^MacPro[1-5],\d)

awesome.  Using this for smart group for finding all compatible with Monterey.

I don't know whey JAMF doesn't build in their own smart groups for macOS compatibility for us to use.

I updated @kgam's regex to list Ventura incompatible devices:

(iMac[1-9],\d|iMac1[0-7],[0-4]|MacBook[1-9],\d|MacBookAir[1-7],\d|MacBookPro[1-9],\d|MacBookPro[01][0-3],[0-5]|Macmini[1-7],\d|^MacPro[1-6],\d)

I just discovered that the new Macs released this year have a different ModelIdentifier scheme. This may put false positives in your smart group depending on how you build your regex. Unfortunately I am a complete regex idiot, but I can add "Architecture Type = arm64" to the compatible smart group.

How can I filter the model year I want to filter 2017 and above model Mac?
