Target creation from AD OU

[raaron1]

Greetings Forum!

A client maintains all their servers in an Active Directory OU. They seek to have the agent deployed via adoption for all these servers. Target choice "Site or Subnet" would result in other devices trying to be adopted. 

Is there a way, via a business adapter or even SQL, to update an existing target syncing the devices, by hostname or IP, in the AD OU to the target? I can write some PowerShell to extract the needed information to a csv or staging database table. Just wondering if we can get the info to the target.

Thanks, Rob Aaron

There is no auto sync of targets and subset of devices to target subset of devices for adoption within the current version of FNMS other than assigning those devices to a target/s manually using IP, device name OR name like operator if those servers have unique pattern in their host name.
One option could be by insert device names to target by running sql query but that can lead to corruption if user made mistake. Wouldn’t recommend.
Another option could be to use deployment tool that is used for application deployment on those server if that tool have capability to target device using OU or device group.
