Smart group criteria

[wllieu]

Hi,

Any good idea to create the smart group that will identify machines used by IT personals.

Here are the hiccups that preventing me to create a smart group for IT machines: 1) We are using a standard naming convention e.g "name-model-year of purchased(wllieu-MBA-13)"
2) No exclusive application used only by IT folks
3) And also all our macs are not joined to the domain.

Does it have to be a smart group based on existing information in the JSS. Or could you just create an extension attribute that you set like an ARD field (or even an ARD field)?

Is there a reason you cannot use the Department for this? Or, like @jdziat mentioned, create a text based EA that is on the Location tab of inventory. You can then scope to that.

If neither of those will work, a dummy receipt can be used to scope to.
