12.2 Managing Registration Rules
Registration rules let you determine a device's assignments when it registers without using a key.
The major difference between using the default registration rules versus using a registration key is
that the default registration rules use a filter to determine which set of device assignments to apply,
but a key corresponds directly to a specific set of assignments to apply.
By default, the list includes a default registration rule for servers and another one for workstations.
These two rules cause all servers to be added to the
/Servers
folder and all workstations to the
/
Workstations
folder. The device hostname is used for its name. You cannot delete these two
default rules, but you can modify the naming scheme and the groups to which the servers and
workstation are added.
The two server and workstation default rules are designed to ensure that no server or workstation
registration fails. You can, however, define additional rules that enable you to filter devices as they
register and add them to different folders and groups. If you establish folders for devices with
similar configuration settings and groups for devices with similar bundle and policy assignments,
newly registered devices automatically receive the configuration settings and assignments
appropriate to them.
If you do not want to use registration rules, you can create registration keys. Using registration keys
lets you define the keys that are used to register devices in the Management Zone. For more
