How to exclude machines from a smart label when they exist in another specified manual label?

I have machines named by building location. Some machines are not to get Java updates so I created a nojava label as an offshoot for each building. I deploy regular patches to the regular label and I deploy nojava patch listings to the nojava machines. The problem is some machines are showing up in both the regular label and the nojava label.

I have a manual label named "M_TESTIE" that contains 55 nojava computers I added to it. Many of those computers could have names that contain "XYZ-R" or "ABC-R". I want those 55 machines excluded from another label that their name criteria would put them in.

If a machine name contains "XYZ-R" or "ABC-R", but is in the "M_TESTIE" label, then I don't want it to be in the nojava smart label that the script below builds.

Is the code below correct in order to exclude machines that are in the M_TESTIE label?


M_XYZ\ABC-R smart label script is below. This is the label that should exclude machines that are in the M_TESTIE label. But in my case, the machines are still showing up in the label the script below creates.:

select MACHINE.*, C.CLIENT_CONNECTED, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(now()) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_TIME,
                       UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_SECONDS
                  from ORG1.MACHINE
                  LEFT JOIN KBSYS.KUID_ORGANIZATION O ON O.KUID=MACHINE.KUID LEFT JOIN KBSYS.SMMP_CONNECTION C ON C.KUID = MACHINE.KUID AND O.ORGANIZATION_ID = 1
                 where ((((  MACHINE.NAME like '%XYZ-R%') OR MACHINE.NAME like '%ABC-R%') AND (1 not in (select 1 from ORG1.LABEL, ORG1.MACHINE_LABEL_JT where MACHINE.ID = MACHINE_LABEL_JT.MACHINE_ID and MACHINE_LABEL_JT.LABEL_ID = LABEL.ID and LABEL.TYPE != 'hidden' and LABEL.NAME like '%M_TESTIE%')) ))

  • Did you create the smart label using the wizard and change it later? The syntax looks the same as one that I have for a similar purpose. Here's mine for computers with the "Admissions/FinAid" label but don't have the "No Patching" label:

    select *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(now()) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_TIME,
    UNIX_TIMESTAMP(MACHINE.LAST_SYNC) as LAST_SYNC_SECONDS
    from ORG1.MACHINE
    LEFT JOIN KBSYS.KUID_ORGANIZATION ON KUID_ORGANIZATION.KUID=MACHINE.KUID LEFT JOIN KBSYS.SMMP_CONNECTION ON SMMP_CONNECTION.KUID = MACHINE.KUID AND KUID_ORGANIZATION.ORGANIZATION_ID = 1
    where ((( (1 not in (select 1 from ORG1.LABEL, ORG1.MACHINE_LABEL_JT where MACHINE.ID = MACHINE_LABEL_JT.MACHINE_ID and MACHINE_LABEL_JT.LABEL_ID = LABEL.ID and LABEL.TYPE != 'hidden' and LABEL.NAME like '%No Patching%')) ) AND (1 in (select 1 from ORG1.LABEL, ORG1.MACHINE_LABEL_JT where MACHINE.ID = MACHINE_LABEL_JT.MACHINE_ID and MACHINE_LABEL_JT.LABEL_ID = LABEL.ID and LABEL.TYPE != 'hidden' and LABEL.NAME like '%Admissions/FinAid%')) )) - chucksteel 10 years ago
  • Sort of. We originally created labels for each building, then a couple years later (via the GUI), created dups of the same labels, and added the criteria "does not contain" >> "M_TESTIE". I manually added machines to the M_TESTIE label hoping that would keep those machines out of the "M_Building XX nojava" label. My sample code in my OP is from one of my nojava labels.
    The problem is machines that are in the M_TESTIE label are showing up in both the regular and nojava labels. - murbot 10 years ago
