Are you running Casper 6.01? If so you should be able to select your smart group, once configured, under the Exempt Computers Tab when creating your Restricted Software. We have yet to test the restricted software feature of Casper but it is something I plan on testing very soon. I will work on it more tomorrow between 8am – 4pm EST and can get back to you then.<BR>

Thank You,<BR>

I need to restrict certain applications to a specific small number of machines. I created a smart group and am manually adding in each computer by it's name. The problem I am running into is when i try to restrict software there seems to be no way to apply it to only one smart group. I am talking about maybe 50 to 60 machines out of 6,200, so I only need to apply it to this smart group period. I don't want to have to go in and check off every other group for exemptions. Is there anyway to restrict software and just apply it to one singular smart group instead of restricting it globally and then adding exempt groups?<BR>
<BR>
I know I can accomplish this in WGM under managed preferences for each individual user, but I don't want to just rely on it. We are having some directory issues at the moment and WGM is kind of a giant pile of, well you know what I mean. Anyway, has anyone done this with restricted software and Casper?<BR>
<BR>
thanks in advance<BR>
