When a system registers need it to assign patch policy

[rzubulake]

I need to a workflow to assign patch policy based on the hostname of the computer. Are computers have a naming convention of L00 (for laptops) and D00 (for desktops). So basically I need any computer that starts with a L00 or D00 to get a specific policy and if not get a different one. Can I get some assistance with this please.

Wouldn't it be easier to have your machines in different agent groups in pulseway and assign the patch policy at the group level?

I am picking up someone elses mess here. Looks like they are in different groups. So how would I set that up on the group level?

If your machines are organized into groups via the section in the web portal, Server Admin>Configuration then for each Agent Group you can specify the patch management policy at the group level. Then any machine assigned to that group will inherit that policy.

Its already on the correct patch management policy but it doesnt assign them the policy. 

I go find the workstation that needs it and it says that "not installed" and I have to manually to add it.

This the case even if you remove a machine from that group and reassign it? Have not seen that one, might have to chat with support about it.
