Hello,
This question comes to our mind (our organization) whenever we have to distribute a new software or implementation: Would be possible to create filters and targets by SQL?
Why we need this? let me put an example: Update to version 1909
Our region is made by 53 countries, so we ask to the countries that, in order that they upgrade the computers to 1909 add their machines in one common filter. All machines in such filter will be upgraded to 1909. The problem is, due to the way as Altiris works, one country )country = OU) cannot add computers from other country, but one country can remove from the filter computers from other country! We already opened a case with this problem and there is no solution for this.
So, from time to time one country remove the computer from others, and we receive hundred of complaints. The solution would be to create 53 different filters and add those filters to the corresponding target, but this task is tedious!!
We could give the rights to the countries for create their filters, but the task to add those filters to the atrget is also hard for our team... The same issue whenever we want to update or upgrade or install any common software in our company: SAP client, Zoom, Websense, Cisco---
Is for that because we were wondering if there is any quick way to create the filters using SQL, and with a second SQL add those filters to one target. If not, what idea would you propose us??? any help will be very welcome!!!!
