Hi,
I am pretty sure the answer is “No”, but i’ll ask anyway.
is there a way to target an action based on Active Directory Users or User groups?
just to clarify - not AD computers, not AD OU’s, but AD users and user groups.
Thanks!

When you Take Action, one of the options is “Run only when a use is logged on” and you can select groups there. Does that help?
You can also target users and user groups, but you’ll only see that user/group options when there is actually someone logged on.
You know @JasonWalker, i’ve been using Bigfix for 14 years and have NEVER thought about using this option …
ill give it a try today. my guess is that the action will be in “Waiting” status until the user logs in.
Thanks!
so i spoke with the client again, apparently this is not exactly what he wanted (go figure…)
he wanted to run an action, but exclude it from running on members of a specific AD group…
i ended up doing the following:
current user keys (logged on user) of registry
problem solved…
Thanks!
You can target based on AD group membership by adding the following relevance to your task/fixlet
(((exists value whose(it as lowercase = “INSERT_GROUP_NAME” as lowercase ) of components whose(type of it=“CN”) of distinguished names ((distinguished names of groups of it; distinguished names of it) of logged on users of it))) of active directory)
Obviously the user would have to be logged in for this to work.
