DS7.1 - Is it possible to have a task/script add a computer to a filter ???

[Migration User]

I am working on deploying Windows 7 with all the applications on it that we need at our company.
We want to use Notification Server 7.0 and Deployment Solution 7.1 for this

My sequence for making the image to install on new computers would be like this:
 1. Deploy a general image of Windows 7, not containing any software other than the Altiris Agent(s)
 2. Apply System Configuration to the new computer and join our domain
 3. Add the computer to a filter called "Windows 7 Standard Software", that will be used as target for our Standard software policies
 4. Wait until the Altiris Agent has installed everything that is needed
 5. Deliver computer to user
Doing it this way would make the computer delivered to the user the same every time, as long as we dont "invent" new standard software

What we have now, is a Windows 7 general image that can be deployed and joined to our domain (step 1 and 2)

What I need help with is a way to add the new computer to the mentioned filter (Windows 7 Standard Software) with a task or a script or something automatically (step 3)
I will then add the task/script to the deploy image job that I have

Is this possible, and if it is, can anyone explain it to me ???

It is possible with the help of ASDK and a little script.

 

This is the script I ended up making

============================================================

Option Explicit

Const strFilterName = "<Name of the filter goes here>"

Dim oCollectionManagement
Dim oItemManagement

Dim strItemName
Dim colItems

Dim itemComputer
Dim itemComputerToAdd

Dim itemFilter
Dim itemFilterForAdding

Set oCollectionManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDK.NS.CollectionManagement")
Set oItemManagement = CreateObject("Altiris.ASDK.NS.ItemManagement")

oItemManagement.CreateLocalInstance()
oCollectionManagement.CreateLocalInstance()

strItemName = "%COMPNAME%"
colItems = oItemManagement.GetItemsByName(strItemName)
For Each itemComputer In colItems
itemComputerToAdd = itemComputer.Guid
Next

strItemName = strFilterName
colItems = oItemManagement.GetItemsByName(strItemName)
For Each itemFilter In colItems
itemFilterForAdding = itemFilter.Guid
Next

Call oCollectionManagement.AddInclusions(itemFilterForAdding, itemComputerToAdd)

============================================================

 

This need to be run on a Task Server (New Task -> Run script on Task Server), and the Task Server needs to be able to find the ASDK.

We have installed Workflow solution on our NS/Task Server, so it is available because of that.
