Client Management Suite

I'm looking for a little outside of the box help.

I need to create an exception for an older version of Java on a subset of machines that aren't in our environment yet. Normally, I would just create a dynamic filter and pick these machines off one by one as they come online but, I'm unable to that in this case.

So, I need my current software delivery package for the latest version of Java to say "if X version exists do not install package" 

Any thoughts or ideas around this?

You can use an Applicability Rule on the Software Resource for the version of Java you are currently distributing. once you have created the Rule you can use the same rule on newer versions as they are released and you package them in Symantec.

The best way is to use a rule of type NOT > MSI code=...

Here's how you can derive the msi code:

{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F86418025F0}

"The value in curly braces is the MSI product code for the JRE...The text in bold, 18025, correlates to the JRE version 1.8.0_25. Modify the MSI product code accordingly depending on the JRE version."
