Greetings,

Please note that I haven't had a chance to really work with this yet, but from what I can tell, you create a host pattern and can then match it to a templates to auto-register your hosts.

From what I have seen, you could create a patter like;
win*.test.com
This would register any host in the test.com domain whose hostname started with win. You could then link this to a specific template which contains your default tests for Windows machines.

Myself, when I build up my next Zabbix test environment, I will be using something like the following;

*web.test.com -- This will auto register all of my Apache web servers to the Apache template.
*ibm.test.com -- This will auto register my IBM websphere application servers to my WebSphere template
*ora.test.com -- This will auto register all of my oracle servers to my Oracle template.
