Laptop or Desktop
Submitted by jinx007 on 1 August, 2008 - 08:10.
Has anyone found a condition that I could use to distinguish between laptops and desktop? I want to create one job that covers both.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do it?




Laptop or Desktop
Jinx007,
I created a condition for my jobs called "laptops" and then added the field "Computer Product Name" the operator "contains" and then filled in the value with the model names of our laptops. I created an entry for each model of laptop we have and joined them with an "or."
This way any time a computer comes through the job that is lets say, a D420 in the Product Name, it runs the subset of tasks for the laptop conditional.
Hope this helps.
Computer groups
For my environment , I don't consider differences creating jobs to desktop or laptops. The only reason to divide in two differents jobs could be only if I have to deploy software to many groups, but in this case I prefer to use "Computer groups" where are included all the different types/models.
Thanks for your help.
