Altiris job/task to automatically set the value of a data class field

We have a user defined data class called Floor Location. This is a manually entered field, designed for us to record the location of the server in the data center, ex: Row A Rack 3.



However, if the server is a VM, we would like an Altiris job/task to automatically set the Floor Location to a value of "VMware".



I currently do this manually by running a self created report that shows which servers need to have the Floor Location changed to “VMware” and then change them by doing a bulk edit of those servers.



Would any one know how to create a job/task to automate this process?

Solution

Sounds like you want to use a CMDB rule.



You can target a set of resources using a report (e.g. the one you have set up already), or using a logic expression to query the value of a field.



You can then set your dataclass to a particular value on those targeted resources.



These CMDB rules can be set up to run automatically on a schedule and keep your information up to date.



thanks,
