I’d like to make an automatic computer group based on computer account membership in a global security group. How would I go about doing that? My assumption is that I would use a relevance statement as the property when making the automatic computer group. It’s the relevance statement that I need.

Thanks,

Hi tigger01,

The basic strategy will be to write a property that returns which global security groups a computer is part of, and then you’ll create an automatic group whose members are computers that respond to the global security group property with a particular value.

Can you please let us know what a global security group is and how to detect if an individual computer is part of a particular global security group? Then we can help with the relevance. It’s possible that we have an inspector that will return the information you need. It’s also possible that we might need to craft an action that writes out that information so it can then be collected by other inspectors.
