I was wondering if there was a way to automatically set a custom site subscription in the client .cfg file. I have been looking, but I do not see much information on it. My ideal choice would be a setting in the .cfg file so once it is set just by deploying the client to the machine. If that is not possible then how would you go about automatic custom site subscription.
Create a policy action to subscribe to the custom site. Use the relevance to target whichever clients you need to have in that site. We do it all the time. The ideal is to have strong conventions so that targeting is easy by criteria like subnets, computer naming conventions, etc.
sample relevance:
(not exists custom site subscription effective date “CustomSite_Desktop”)
sample action script:
custom site subscribe CustomSite_Desktop as “Desktop” on “{now}”
Change the custom site name and add whatever additional criteria in the relevance to suit your needs, then run as a policy action.
If you target a dynamic group with your policy action, you can automatically catch newly created machines that fit the criteria.
Jon,
Thank you for this information. This is exactly what I was looking for, so appreciated it.
