Targeting Scripts to Specific Devices with ControlUp

Posted on

It is possible to have a script with a system or user trigger run on certain device groups or tagged devices by checking the tags/groups within the script itself. The 'COMPUTERNAME' environment variable can be used to target devices, and the 'SIPDEVICEGROUP' environment variable can filter by Edge DX device group. A device_group text file stored locally can also be used, although the script will still run on all devices before stopping after the check is made. More details can be found at https://support.controlup.com/docs/scripting-guide#targeting-a-script-at-a-specific-device.
