Creating a rule for tagging devices automatically

To create a rule for tagging devices automatically:

View rules for tagging devices automatically.
Click Add.
A new rule settings window opens.
Configure the general properties of the rule:
1. In the Rule name field, enter the rule name.
  The name cannot be more than 256 characters long.
2. Do one of the following:
  - Enable the rule by switching the toggle button to Rule enabled.
  - Disable the rule by switching the toggle button to Rule disabled.
3. In the Tag field, enter the new device tag name or select one of the existing device tags from the list.
  The name cannot be more than 256 characters long.
In the conditions section, click the Add button to add a new condition.
A new condition settings window open.
Enter the condition name.
The name cannot be more than 256 characters long. The name must be unique within a rule.
Set up the triggering of the rule according to the following conditions. You can select multiple conditions.
- Network—Network properties of the device, such as the device name on the Windows network, or device inclusion in a domain or an IP subnet.
  If case sensitive collation is set for the database that you use for Kaspersky Security Center, keep case when you specify a device DNS name. Otherwise, the auto-tagging rule will not work.
- Applications—Presence of Network Agent on the device, operating system type, version, and architecture.
- Virtual machines—Device belongs to a specific type of virtual machine.
- Active Directory—Presence of the device in an Active Directory organizational unit and membership of the device in an Active Directory group.
- Applications registry—Presence of applications of different vendors on the device.
Click OK to save the changes.
If necessary, you can set multiple conditions for a single rule. In this case, the tag will be assigned to a device if it meets at least one condition.
Click Save to save the changes.

The newly created rule is enforced on devices managed by the selected Administration Server. If the settings of a device meet the rule conditions, the device is assigned the tag.

Later, the rule is applied in the following cases:

Automatically and periodically, depending on the server workload
After you edit the rule
When you run the rule manually
After the Administration Server detects a change in the settings of a device that meets the rule conditions or the settings of a group that contains such device

You can create multiple tagging rules. A single device can be assigned multiple tags if you have created multiple tagging rules and if the respective conditions of these rules are met simultaneously. You can view the list of all assigned tags in the device properties.
