Inclusion Filter

When you create a profile to specify the kit and installation options for Client deployment, you must specify the nodes that the profile applies to. Use the Inclusion Filter dialog to specify the node selection criteria for a profile.

To create an Inclusion Filter:

1    In the Deployment tab of the Automatic Client Deployment dialog, select the profile to which want to apply the filter, then click the lower Add button. The Inclusion Filter dialog is displayed.

2    In the Inclusion Filter dialog, choose the criteria that identify the PCs this profile applies to:

    To deploy the Client to a specific domain or organizational unit, enter the name of the domain or organizational unit in the Distinct field.

Select Include nodes from child Organizational Units to include computers belonging to any organizational units in the specified domain or organizational unit.

    To deploy the Client to specific node names, select Wildcard match and enter a name string. You can use the asterisk character as a wildcard. For example, to specify a filter that includes all nodes that have the string TEST in their name, type *TEST*.

    To deploy the Client by IP address enter a Range. You can specify a range in the form 90.0.0.128 - 90.0.0.255 or you can use a wildcard. For example, 192.168.31.0 - 192.168.31.255 is the same as 192.168.31.*.

3    Click OK to save your changes and apply the filter to the selected profile.

Notes

    Filter options can be used in combination to narrow the range of PCs identified by a profile. For example, if you specify a domain filter of Engineering and a node name of NewPC*, the profile will only deploy the Client on PCs with names that begin with New PC and which belong to the Engineering domain.

    You can assign multiple inclusion filters to a profile. For example, to create a profile that deploys the Client to two separate IP ranges, create an Inclusion Filter for each range and assign both filters to the same profile.
