Windows server not registering to an automatic computer group

[tarwaniv]

Hi All,

Need help here to understand, that why a Windows 2016 server is not been able to get in the automatic computer group which has a condition of relevance shown in the screenshot below

Please suggest on this. Ty

What does ((select ("ProductType from Win32_OperatingSystem") of WMI) as string) evaluate to?

Hint: When requesting help with relevance, helpful but time restricted passers by are more likely to engage if you paste your code (with forum formating) than a screenshot - it is much quicker/easier to take a look if there is code to cut and paste into the debugger rather than being required to key it in

Just a side note, it would be better to look if there is a detection method that does not use wmi. WMI inspections have greater overheads on the endpoints and its typically better to limit WMI inspections to properties where you can configure a less frequent refresh rate, eg once a day. WMI inspections in fixlets, groups etc will be re-evaulted every cycle and can cause CPU spikes on a recurring basis.

If you are after server and domain controller you may want to consider using the product type of operating system inspector, which would be much more efficient than WMI. See the evaluation time differences below.

Q: ((select ("ProductType from Win32_OperatingSystem") of WMI) as string contains "2") or ((select ("ProductType from Win32_OperatingSystem") of WMI) as string contains "3")
A: True
T: 23.558 ms
I: singular boolean


Q: (it = nt server product type or it = nt domain controller product type) of product type of operating system
A: True
T: 0.076 ms
I: singular boolean
