I don't know if there is a special way to do these searches, but if you
- open the SEPM UI
- click on Clients tab
- search for clients; by either right clicking a group or clicking that 'search clients' hyperlink in the bottom middle pane

- under the Search Field select IP address
- under the Comparison Operator (try any of them)
- under the value enter an IP

I wanted the SEPM to search for all computers with ips 172.16.10.x

you can not put in a wild card or leave fields blank, if you do all the machines list, not just machines that match the 1st  3 octets

Is there a way to search

Try this

Search Field                                Comparison Operator                                   Value

IP Address                                                  >                                                       192.168.5.1

IP Address                                                  <                                                        192.168.5.254

Another IP search

How about searching for all systems that the IP ends in .25 (or some other number)?
example - x.x.x.25

We have specific systems thatall end in the same octect, but the first 3 will vary.

I did a seach on ip >

I did a seach on
ip > 10.61.18.1
ip <10.61.18.255

The search returned 10 pages of clients - 286 machine names.  This is larger than a C-block.  Our SCCM reports shows 132 machines.  Our DHCP range is 50-199.  There can not be 286 machines.  There is a large number of Off-line machines in the search results that do not show this ip address in the network tab.

This should probably be a reply to the Symantec response.

Still not working

I have DC's on 172.16.10.x
I have clients on many other networks
when I do a search to try and find servers that are in the Default group (to move them to the cleint group for servers I make my search like this:
IP Address > 172.16.10.1
IP Address < 172.16.10.255

My list populates with machines all machines that are in the default group.

I am wondering if the problem with the search is that the search is looking at ALL the info that would be located on a client (under the network tab). Being that the DNS & WINS servers are in that network (in the above search) all clients get populated in my search results.
