Auto-Registration Question
I am writing auto-registration rules and they work fine, but now I am being asked to scale it about 60 times the current size which is NOT maintainable.
So the current method uses the Metadata line to define both a location and computer type to determine what templates to apply and what groups to add it to, etc. For example, I might have Metadata=DEFile for a File server in Germany, for example. But to make it for each different country is a new rule. Likewise to add a new server type - say NOSQL, I need to create a new rule for NOSQL for each location under the current design.
What I am wondering is:
Is there a way I can send multiple entries, either comma separated, or using the metadataitem line, or whatever, where BOTH will get processed one after the other - so I can say "if metadata includes DE add to the Germany location" and then a separate rule, "if metadata (or metadataitem, or whatever) contains File; add to the File Server notification list". Also, if I use one for metadata and one for metadataitem, how do I add a third entry, for example: to state if it is Production, Test, QA, DEV, etc.?
Using the two will solve most of my issues, and I think I can make that work already; but adding the third processing criteria is what prompted this question.
