bpplclients -allunique -U

Hello Riaan,

Could you please tell me the syntax for a single policy? I would be requiring host name for a specific policy.

[Marianne · Accepted solution]

Try this : bpplclients (policy_name) -U

Hi Marianne,

Thanks very much :)

does it contain the deactivated policies host as well?

[RiaanBadenhorst]

The command shows you which clients are listed in a policy. It doesn't care if its acvite or not, it reports the policy clients.

[Marianne]

Deactivated policies or deactivated clients? Two totally different concepts that need different commands. bppllist and bpplclients reports from policy database. bpclient reports from client db on the master (Host Properties -> Master -> Client Attributes ) where individual clients can be deactivated. Maybe best if you can tell us what exactly you are looking for. The requirement seems to change with each new post.

If you are looking to find clients form the active policies

1. Use bppllist to list out the all the policies, forward it to some tmp file. bppllist > tmp.txt

2. Remove the inactive policies from the tmp.txt

3. Use for loop to find the clients from each policy

UNIX- for policy_name in `cat tmp.txt`; do echo $policy_name; bpplclients $policy_name -U ; done

POWERSHELL - foreach ($policy_name in Get-Content tmp.txt)

                          {echo $policy_name

                           bpplclients $policy_name -U}
