Hardware Rules
You can specify hardware-based rules for a Imaging bundle. This enables any device matching those
rules to have the specified bundle applied to it when it boots.
For example, you can create a rule that applies a bundle to any device with at least 512 MB of RAM
and 150 GB of hard drive space.
A work rule is made up of filters that are used to determine whether a device complies with the rule.
The rules use logic to determine whether a device meets the requirements for applying the Imaging
bundle. The AND, OR, and NOT logical operators are used for creating filtering for the rule.
When a device is seeking work to be done, it scans the rules until it finds a rule where all of the
rule's filters match the device, then executes the bundle assigned to the rule.
The following table lists the tasks you can perform to configure hardware rules:
