Hint: The execution of these examples requires a connected PowerShell drive.

Extend the Group definition of the Dynamic Computer Group "Lenovo-Workstations" in the context "Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Workstations" with an additional qualifier. Now Computers whose vendor name starts with the substring "Lenovo" or with the substring "IBM" may become members of this group:

Cd "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Users & Computers\solys.local\Chicago\ITService\Workstations"

$MyGroup = Get-EmdbGroup "Lenovo-Workstations"

$MyGroup.Filter = "(&(|(BasicInventory.Vendor=Lenovo*)(BasicInventory.Vendor=IBM*)))"

$MyGroup.Update()

Hint: In section Using Filters approaches for creating filters are discussed.
