Hey - I have a fixlet with secret parameter, works well. Need to expand the deployment to thousands of desktops but can’t target by retrieved property (only computer list)
is there a targeting workaround to this limitation of using secret parameters ?
No – when you submit the action it gets encrypted specifically for each targeted device. For this reason you cannot dynamically target.
You could use the REST API to create new actions when there are new devices that match the criteria (by running a script daily for instance) but fixlets with secret parameters cannot be dynamically targeted.
the api create action would still need to target specific computernames/id’s based on whatever applicability relevance i use, right ?
Yes – and would have to redo the action daily or at your interval.
