Bulk adding of Windows devices

[RSAAdmin]

Could we request the addition of a bulk method of adding a number of windows machines within the GUI combined with an option to upload a text file.

There is a script in existence which does allow this from the command line but would it be possible to incorporate this into the GUI, very similar to the watchlist update. This would then save either manually entering the IP/name or using netbios, and allow for importing from a text file or similar.

An outstanding idea!!  Uploading a simple text file with the inputs of IP Address and LC would be MUCH more productive.

I will add my vote to this feature.  When I deployed my 300+ Windows servers it was a PAIN.  This feature would be very much welcomed...as would an SMB query capability to search AD which would populate a list of servers to add.

All,

This is an old post and it may have been answered elsewhere but if so, I've not seen it. Windows device imports also work like this:

Create a comma-separated-values (CSV) file with the following 3 fields:
1. Domain
2. Host
3. IP address

For example:
DomainasdefinedinEnVision, machinename.domain.com, 10.10.10.11

Do not include a header row. Upload this file to the appropriate collector into the E:\nic\4000\Sitename-LCx\database\cmd directory. Then use the following command to import it:
dbimport_windows_clients csvfile.csv

The Windows Eventing collection service for server 2008 (due for release soon) would also provide that capability using CLI config tool.
