Computer Management Validation Logic Type
The following Validation Logic Types are available for use with Computer Management Profiles and Profile objects. Some Validation Logic Types allow the use of the * and ? wildcards.
The asterisk (*) wildcard means that at least one occurrence of the specified characters must exist in the entry field. When a profile or profile object element is being validated based on an entry field using the *, validation will return true and valid if the specified characters prior to the asterisk exist anywhere in the text field.
For example, if the specified Active Directory group is [ AC* ], then any group that begins with AC, followed by any other characters will be valid for the validation.
The question mark (?) wildcard is used often used as a placeholder for unknown data. One or more ? may be used in a text field in conjunction with other characters. If the pattern of characters matches the field being validated, where a ? represents any other character, the validation will return true and valid.
For example, if a Computer Name is specified in the validation entry field as [ SHP??01 ], then any computer with a name that starts with SHP and is then followed by any two characters plus 01. A computer name SHPAB10 would match and validate true for this example.

Note: Validation Logic type does not allow the use of wildcards |
The interactive user is the user that is logged on to the computer, i.e., the user who is physically at the computer. The Interactive User Validation Logic type allows an element to execute based on whether there is a user logged in to the computer or not. Find the Interactive User Validation Logic type under the Activity category.
Along with Interactive User, there is a Desktop Locked checkbox. This checkbox allows the validation logic to determine not only whether a user is logged on to the machine but if the machine is in a locked state or not.
