I’ve done some searching, but have not been able to figure this one out.
I’m trying to create some Automatic Groups with a couple of different criteria:
The first set of criteria is if the computer name contains a certain phrase. The second part of the criteria is the tricky part. I want to get all computers with IP addresses between (10.102.1.0/24 AND 10.102.254/24) OR (10.112.56.0/24 AND 10.112.61.0/24) OR (10.202.33.0/24) OR (10.106.0/24) BUT NOT ((10.102.26.0/24) OR (10.102.238.0/24)).
For the most part, each concept in our company has a specific IP range or formula. But of course there are exceptions. And the exceptions make things tricky.
In my experience the exceptions will continue to grow and make maintaining a relevance statement untenable.
What I’d suggest instead is the Location Property Wizard, which allows you to import a couple of spreadsheet columns to map each subnet to a client setting and property as key/value pairs.
Following up on JasonWalker’s advice, here’s how I do this…
If you don’t already have it - create a property under tools, manage property, SubnetAddress-MyCo or w/e you’d like to name it w/ this relevance:
subnet address of ip interfaces whose (loopback of it = false) of network
Then you can use bigfix webreports to scrape that property, or create automatic groups with contains/does not contain statements. Works well enough; I manage approx 410 subnets…
