Reference Guide

Navigate the Dell Server

of ORGANIZATION, called AMERS to represent a domain in America. Additionally we have a 2nd child

domain EMEA representing non-American based clients.

DISPLAYNAME ENDSWITH “AMERS.ORGANIZATION.COM”

This group will contain all clients that are in the AMERS domain according to their FQDN.

DISPLAYNAME ENDSWITH “EMEA.ORGANIZATION.COM”

This group will contain all clients that are in the EMEA domain according to their FQDN

• If the hostname of the client computers contain several notations that indicate desired ways in

which to create a group, those specific portions can be captured as long as their location is

consistent.

Looking at the hostname: A12345jdoe.AMER.ORGANIZATION.COM

A denotes an asset, while the following 5 digits denotes the asset’s assigned value. The user that was

assigned the asset has their SAM account appended to the end.

You can capture the assigned number of the asset, and that it is within a certain subsection of assets.

This example shows how to look for assets that have a value less than 1000.

MID(DISPLAYNAME , 2, 5) < 1001

This example targets user’s machines where their last name begins with ‘r’.

MID(DISPLAYNAME , 8, 1) = “r”

• Example for Dell Data Guardian:

To display Dell Data Guardian internal clients, add the specification "cloudpresent and cloudinternal".

To display Dell Data Guardian external clients, add the specification "cloudpresent and

cloudexternal".

Edit Group Priority

The Group priority feature is used to determine policy precedence for effective policies that affect multiple

groups. Group priority creates a weight associated with the specific group it is assigned to, and that weight

is used to determine which policy setting is applied to an endpoint that is a member of more than one

Endpoint Group when policy settings differ between those groups. Policy overrides are used from the group

with higher priority when two (or more) separate groups have different priority levels.

Edit Endpoint Group Priority

Endpoint Group Priority can be changed only for Rule-Defined, Admin-Defined, and Active Directory Groups.

System-Defined Group priority cannot be modified. In general, the Endpoint Group at the top of the list of

Endpoint Groups has highest priority. The Endpoint Group at the bottom of the list has lowest priority.
