symptom
When defining an ActiveView rule that Excludes objects managed by an Activeview that defines excluded objects, the end result is that the objects are NOT excluded.
cause
This is the correct behavior.
fix
This is the correct behavior.
For Example: Lets say that you have the computer accounts with the names
- Dataserver1
- Dataserver2
- Machine1
- Machine2
AV1
include all computer accounts in all domains with name matching d*
Result: Shows computers with name matching D*
- Dataserver1
- Dataserver2
AV2
excludes all objects managed by ActiveView AV1
Result: Shows all computers with the exception of all machines with name matching d*
- Machine1
- Machine2
AV3
Exclude all objects managed by Activeview AV2
Result: shows computers with name matching d*.
Reason: Computers with name matching d* are not included in AV2, so therefore they show up.
- Dataserver1
- Dataserver2
note
To reproduce, create ActiveViews like below.
AV1
include all computer accounts in all domains with name matching d*
AV2
exclude all objects managed by AV1
AV3
