Action for certain workstation names to automatically lock them?

(imported topic written by rharmer91)

I’m not sure this is possible, but if it is… help me out :slight_smile:

I’m looking for workstations with a certain name pattern to be automatically locked when they have the agent installed and appear in the BigFix console.

Any way to do that?

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

See this thread for ideas on how to make dynamic settings:

http://forum.bigfix.com/viewtopic.php?id=100

The thread specifically references bandwidth throttling, but the theory for locking is the same. Instead of using the setting ‘_BESClient_Download_LimitBytesPerSecond’ you would just use the setting ‘__Lockstate’.

Then all you need is relevance to filter out the machines you’d like to lock based on your naming pattern. Let us know if you need help with that.
