You can do this only after Management Agent has been installed on the hosts and after the hosts have sent
an autoregistration request. Management Agent will have to be installed from a CD-ROM, from a login script,
or some other way.
To import autoregistered hosts:
1.
Click on the toolbar.
Alternatively:
• Select Edit Import autoregistered hosts
• Select Import autoregistered hosts
When the operation is completed, the host is added to the domain tree. The autoregistered hosts can be
imported to different domains based on different criteria, such as the hosts's IP or DNS address. The
Autoregistration view offers a tabular view to the data which the host sends in the autoregistration
message. This includes the possible custom autoregistration properties that were included in the remote
installation package during installation.
2. You can perform the following actions on the
• You can sort autoregistration messages according to the values of any column by clicking the
corresponding table header.
• You can change the column ordering by dragging and dropping the columns to the suitable locations,
and column widths can be freely adjusted.
• You can use the table context menu (click the right mouse button on the table header bar) to specify
which autoregistration properties are visible in the table.
Using autoregistration import rules
You can define the import rules for the autoregistered hosts on the
autoregistered hosts window.
You can use the following as import criteria in the rules:
• WINS name, DNS name, Dynamic DNS name, custom properties
• These support * (asterisk) as a wildcard. The * character can replace any number of characters. For
example: host_test* or *.example.com.
• Matching is not case-sensitive, so upper-case and lower-case characters are treated as the same
character.
• IP address, dynamic IP address
• These support exact IP address matching (for example: 192.1.2.3) and IP sub-domain matching
(for example: 10.15.0.0/16).
1. You can hide and display columns in the table by using the right-click menu that opens when you right-click
any column heading in the
Only the values in the currently visible columns are used as matching criteria when importing hosts to the
policy domain. The values in the currently hidden columns are ignored.
2. You can add new custom properties to be used as criteria when importing hosts.
One example of how to use the custom properties is to create separate installation packages for different
organizational units, which should be grouped under unit-specific policy domains. In this case you could
use the unit name as the custom property, and then create import rules that use the unit names as the
import criteria. Note that custom property names that are hidden are remembered only until Policy Manager
Console is closed. To add a new custom property:
a) Right-click a column heading and select
