K1000 "Distributions" and "smart label" fails. (K1000 v5.5.90546)
Incident 1)
I created a "Distribution" and applied it to two smart labels, but also set the "Limit Deployment To Listed Machines" to 8 specific machines for testing. However, the distribution is not respecting the "Limit" and is applying to the labels regardless -- unacceptable! 
Incident 2)
I created a smart label via wizard to include only Java SE (JRE) 32-bit versions less than 7.0.510 ; However, machines that have 7.0.510 are included in the filter even after agent check-ins. -- Again unacceptable.
We have K1000 v5.5.90546 and Agents v5.5.30275, 5.4.5315, and 5.4.10622 active.

Regarding Incident 2:
Sometimes targeting labels with software versions gets tricky depending on how the display version is returned. See below for example Java 7 update 7 and 9 could be returned as higher versions than update 51...
You may have to think of another way to get the result you want. I cannot offer a solution right now as my brain is fried from the week. And I need to eat some lunch.

...in regards to Java the new versions of 7 are good at removing old versions of 7 so you may just be able to target it outright to your machines. That is what I do...about 6 months ago I ran some reports and to help target uninstalls for versions below 7 for ex. . Now that's done I don't have to worry so much about old versions of Java. If a machine is targeted in your Managed Install of JREu51 and it already has it it will just report as already installed and move on. - jegolf 10 years ago

I had indeed used != (not equal) in the past, it seems i will have to stay with that.
I will be VERY happy when our internal application no longer requires Java6. - njd 10 years ago
Regarding Incident1:
The "Limit deployment to labels" and "limit deployment to listed machines" is always a combination so to say. It is not designed as use this label or use this list of machines. It's simply 2 options for targeting machines...if a machine is in the label or listed it will be targeted.

Thank you for clarification. - njd 10 years ago
Replace "Limit Deployment To Labels" with "Deploy to Labels"
Replace "Limit Deployment To Listed Machines" with "Deploy To Listed Machines" - njd 10 years ago
