[Casper] Computer group from AD

[Nichols, Jared]

Wouldn't you just create a smart computer group that goes off of the Active Directory Status attribute?  You could either make it "Active Directory Status" is <<name of AD>> (if you have more than one and you want to specify which) or you could make "Active Directory Status" is not "Not Bound"  It's a double negative, but that would return any machine bound to an AD, no matter what the AD is called.

See Attachment.

Maybe I don't understand completely your question?

Don't believe the JSS works with computer accounts in AD.

Hey Guys-

Has anyone created a smart group that would take members based on if the computer is a member of an AD group.

Essentially what I'm trying to do is scope a policy to a group of computers in AD, like you can with the User scope, but it doesn't seem to work with computers.

When user's register for our disaster recovery system, their computer is added to a group in AD, and I would like to install the backup client on their machine based on whether or not they are in this group.  Any ideas?
