Naming host sets

Prev Next

You can name and rename host sets at any time.

Caution

If you save a host set with a new name, the host set is simply renamed. Any changes you have made are saved to the host set with the new name.

It is a good idea to name host sets based on their purpose. Follow these naming conventions:

  • Set names can contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores, but no other special characters.

  • Spaces are converted to underscores.

  • Set names are truncated after 256 characters.

Names that are the same as domain or filter names can be confusing. Avoid confusion by choosing more specific names.

Acceptable Names:

  • QA_Windows7_workstations

  • Chicago_Office

  • Executive_Laptops_Ann_Arbor

Poor Names:

  • QANet or hr.lawrencedomain.com (names that are the same as one of your organization's Windows Domain names)

  • Windows 7 Enterprise (a name that is the same as that of an OS and patch)

  • Seattle R&D (a name containing the ampersand special character).
