This example defines automatic maintenance policies with the following characteristics:

Host groups

Computers with IP addresses in the ranges from 10.210.177.150 to 10.210.177.160 and 192.168.111.0 to 192.168.111.255 are registered in the host group IP-address-group at the route IP-address.
Newly created hosts are registered in the host group New-PCs.
Computers whose OS type is Windows 7 are registered in the Windows7 host group under the OS-type route, separated into 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. These hosts are further grouped by OS sub-version.
Computers whose OS type is Windows 8.1 are registered in the Windows 8.1 host group under the OS-type route, separated into 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. These hosts are further grouped by OS sub-version.
Computers whose OS type is Windows Server 2012 R2 are registered in the WindowsServer2012R2 host group under the OS-type\Server route, separated into 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. These hosts are further grouped by OS sub-version.
Computers positioned in a hierarchy based on department information are registered in a maximum of four levels under the Department route.
Computers positioned in a hierarchy based on installation location are registered in a maximum of five levels under the Location route.
Computers positioned in a hierarchy based on the Server-Client and PC-type additional management items of hardware asset information are registered under the Asset-management-item route.

ID groups

Newly added hosts are registered in the ID group ID_NewHosts.
Computers for which the value of the PC type additional management item is Notebook and the value of Server-Client is ClientPC or Other are registered in the ID group ID_notebookPCs.
Computers whose installation location is /National/EastCoast/NewYork/ are registered in the ID group ID_NewYork_Control.

You can create a new automatic maintenance policy by copying this policy and changing attributes such as the IP address ranges and host group names. You can efficiently create multiple automatic maintenance policies by copying and editing an existing policy in this way.
