Fixlet - issue with applicable computers

Hi,

I may be doing something wrong but I have some relevance to target some PC’s only which also contains a number of machine names that should be exempt from it.

Firstly the Fixlet is showing servers under Applicable Computers even though they are a different naming convention to workstations.

Also, how can you compile Fixlets where each part of the relevance is separate, i.e Relevence 1, then Relevance 2 etc?.

Here is the Fixlet I am having issues with. It’s basically checking for scheduled tasks: Any assistance appreciated.

(name of operating system = “WinXP”) AND (computer name starts with “P”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001900”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001754”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001287”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001669”) AND (computer name != “ptst10000877”) AND (computer name != “pldn20000851”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002367”) AND (computer name != “pldn10000858”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002366”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002368”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001256”) AND (not exists file “At1.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At2.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At3.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At4.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”)

You just need one more set of parenthesis around all the OR statements so they are correctly ANDed with all the previous checks:

(name of operating system = “WinXP”) AND (computer name starts with “P”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001900”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001754”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001287”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001669”) AND (computer name != “ptst10000877”) AND (computer name != “pldn20000851”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002367”) AND (computer name != “pldn10000858”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002366”) AND (computer name != “pldn10002368”) AND (computer name != “pldn10001256”) AND ((not exists file “At1.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At2.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At3.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”) OR (not exists file “At4.job” of folder “C:\windows\tasks”))

Also, you cannot create custom fixlets with separate relevance lines like you see in the fixlet content that we provide. That can only be done in our internal development tool where we create and publish our site content.
