To create a dynamic group based on the first few characters of the server’s name use the following in the dynamic group creation wizard matching the regular expression option:
- In the operations console, create a new Group under ‘Authoring’ > ‘Groups’
- Give it a name of your choice and select a managementpack to save it in (not the default managementpack)
- Select ‘Next’ twice and click ‘Create/Edit Rules…’
- Verify ‘Windows Computer’ is selected and click ‘Add’
- Now select ‘principal name’ > ‘Matches regular expression’ ^(?i:ny-)
This will populate the group with servers starting with NY
(Object is Windows Computer AND ( NetBIOS Computer Name Matches regular expression ^(?i:ny) ) AND True)
Thanks for posting this, I had a fun time creating new expressions and I really was able to get a lot done! This is a lot better than SolarWinds, WOW!
is there a way to refresh groups?
