Came across the need to create SCOM groups that consist of both Development and Production servers. While it is easier to have them explicitly populated into the correspondent groups but that would required exhaustive administrative effort from the SCOM admins to always validate the membership of the groups from time to time.
Most of you may know that not every organization has a standard naming convention for their servers like XXX-XXX , and the question now is what will be the regex expression for servers that either ends with d or p indicating whether this is a development or production servers ?
Well it might sound complicated (or at least to me) where how many characters or numbers that we need to consider, since the server names do no have a fixed length.
After some trials and errors, turned out to be quite a simple fix. The following expression will fit in
(?i:p$) –> means case insensitive and ending with a p (or P). Feel free to change the expression to suit your needs.
