Applies ToRSA Product Set: ECAT
RSA Version/Condition: 4.x
TasksThe purpose of this article is to assign a machine group based on a SQL Query.
The following steps could potentially be placed in an automated task to assign new machines daily.
ResolutionStep 1: Create the desired groups in ECAT UI.
Step 2: Build a query to retrieve a group number. This can only be done one group at the time.
Example with a group named Workstations:
SELECT TOP (1) @fk_machinegroup = PK_MachineGroups  
FROM [dbo].[MachineGroups] AS [mg] WITH (NOLOCK)  
WHERE [mg].[Name] LIKE 'workstations'                 -- YOUR GROUP NAME

Step 3: Build a query to retrieve only the machines which you wish to change.
Example with MachineOU:
SELECT TOP 10 *  
FROM [dbo].[Machines] AS [m]  
INNER JOIN [dbo].[MachineOU] AS [mo] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [m].[FK_MachineOU] = [mo].[Pk_MachineOU]  
WHERE  
  [m].[FK_MachineGroups] = 1 AND         -- ONLY CHANGE IF DEFAULT  
  [mo].[MachineOU] LIKE '%Workstations%'

Example with IP:
SELECT TOP 10 *  
FROM [dbo].[Machines] AS [m]  
WHERE  
   [m].[FK_MachineGroups] = 1 AND         -- ONLY CHANGE IF DEFAULT  
   [m].[LocalIp] LIKE '10.10.10.%'        -- YOUR CONDITION HERE

Step 4: Modify and run the attached script.
BEGIN TRANSACTION  
DECLARE @fk_machinegroup INT;  
  
--  S T E P   2  ---------------------------------------------------  
SELECT TOP (1) @fk_machinegroup = PK_MachineGroups  
FROM [dbo].[MachineGroups] AS [mg] WITH (NOLOCK)  
WHERE [mg].[Name] LIKE 'workstations'                 -- YOUR GROUP NAME  
  
--  S T E P   3  ---------------------------------------------------  
UPDATE [m]  
SET FK_MachineGroups = @fk_machinegroup  
FROM [dbo].[Machines] AS [m]  
WHERE  
   [m].[FK_MachineGroups] = 1 AND         -- ONLY CHANGE IF DEFAULT  
   [m].[LocalIp] LIKE '10.10.10.%'        -- YOUR CONDITION HERE  
  
--  S T E P   4  ---------------------------------------------------  
-- COMMIT TRANSACTION            -- UNCOMMENT WHEN READY TO APPLY  
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION             -- TEST, COMMENT WHEN READY TO APPLY
