Using Queries to Define Your Scopes

Queries can be used on their own or to complement explicit scopes for the following types of discoveries:

•
Computer
•
File Storage Analysis
•
NTFS
•
Registry

Queries allow you to define a set of criteria that will be resolved when the discovery runs. For example, you can create a query that looks for computer names that contain "Finance" across an entire domain. When the discovery runs, the query will run and resolve a list of targets. Queries can be run against a particular domain, a container in a domain, or against all child domains of the domain you are currently logged in to. By default, queries create an included scope, but you can modify it to be excluded if you want.

* 
NOTE: Only queries based on computers, organization units and containers are relevant. Other parameters will be ignored.
To include a scope using a query
1
Click Add.
If you get a warning message to select an Active Directory domain, click OK to close the message, then expand the Available Scopes list of Active Directory domains, select one and then click Add again.
2
Click Add scope using a query.
3
To choose a specific domain to target with the query, select it from the In list.
- OR -
To choose a specific container or OU to target, click Browse, locate the target and click OK.
- OR -
To target the current domain and all child domains, from the In list, select Entire Directory.
4
From the Find list, select Computers, Organizational Units or Custom Search, then make your selections on the tabs shown.
Each selection you add builds a query. Ensure the Custom Search only includes computers, containers and organizational units. Note that on the Advanced tab of the Custom Search option, you can use any appropriate LDAP query. To test your query, click Find Now.
5
Click OK to save your query.
The query is saved, and the domain against which it will run is shown in the scopes list. To view the query, you can hover over the domain name. If the query was run against the Entire Directory, the originating domain is shown, and all its trusted domains will be queried when the discovery runs.
To exclude objects using a query
1
Follow the steps for adding a query.
For more information, see To include a scope using a query .
2
In the Selected Scopes list, right-click the query and select Exclude.

Using Subnets to Define Your Scopes

You can use subnets on their own or to complement explicit scopes for the following types of discoveries:

•
Computer
•
File Storage Analysis
•
NTFS
•
Registry

Specifying a subnet allows you to specify a group of targets for a discovery based on their IP addresses. By default, a subnet mask is included in the scope, but you can modify it to be excluded.

* 
NOTE: Network and Broadcast IPs will not be included in the list of targets.
To include a scope using a subnet
1
Click Add.
2
Click Add Subnet.
3
Enter the digits that complete the subnet.
The mask, the number of IPs, and number of usable IPs are displayed.
The network and broadcast IPs that will be excluded from the list of targets are also displayed.
4
Optionally, click Edit Subnet Credentials to enter credentials that override the node credentials or the alternate credentials for this subnet. For more information, see Using Subnet Credentials .
5
Click OK to add this subnet to the selected scopes.
To edit a subnet scope
1
In the Selected Scopes listing, click on a subnet scope.
2
Click the Edit button.
3
Optionally, change the digits that complete the subnet.
4
Optionally, click Edit Subnet Credentials to change the credentials for this subnet.
To exclude objects using a subnet
1
Follow the steps To include a scope using a subnet.
2
In the Selected Scopes list, right-click the subnet and select Exclude.

Using Subnet Credentials

For each subnet scope in Computer, File Storage Analysis, NTFS, and Registry discoveries, you can define subnet credentials for a computer or group of computers using wildcard expressions. For example, you can enter one credential for all computers in a domain using an expression such as *.domain1.corp. During collection, the subnet credentials will be used to access target computers instead of the node credentials or the alternate credentials.

* 
NOTE: During collection, the subnet credentials will be processed in the order in which they are listed. If a computer happens to match two expressions within the subnet credentials, it will only be processed once using the topmost entry in the table. Place more specific entries toward the top of the list and entries using wildcard characters toward the bottom of the list.
To add subnet credentials
1
When adding or editing a subnet on the scopes page, click Edit Subnet Credentials.
2
Click Add to enter a new credential.
3
Enter the fully qualified name of a computer or an expression that represents a group of computers.
4
Click the Account ellipsis (...) to open the Credential Manager and add or select the credentials for the specified computers.
5
Click OK to return to the credential mappings.
6
Optionally, click Move Up or Move Down to position the entry appropriately.
7
Click OK to return to the Scopes page.
To edit subnet credentials
1
On the scopes page of a discovery, select a subnet and click Edit.
2
Click Edit Subnet Credentials.
3
Select the credential to edit and click Edit.
4
Change the Computer name or expression or the credential Account.
5
Click OK to return to the credential mappings.
6
Optionally, click Move Up or Move Down to re-position the entry.
7
Click OK to return to the Scopes page.
