System Tokens

An Altiris system token is a type of variable that can be replaced with unique data from the Deployment database. These are variable tokens that can be inserted in scripts or answer files to extract information from the Deployment Database.

Each computer being managed can have its own unique value for each token. For example, the %COMPNAME% token stores the NetBios computer name while the %DOMAIN% token stores the Microsoft Domain or Workgroup a computer is a member.

Depending on the individual computer, there may not be a value stored in the Deployment database for every possible token. The names for the Altiris system tokens are case sensitive and must have a percent sign at the beginning and end of the token name. The following table lists the currently available system tokens:

Not valid table for DS 7.1 I suppose!

All the same we can create all the missing one.

Except the hardware inventory is not included with DS 7. So you do not have the "hardware" information in the base for initial deployment, as we have using DS 6.9 :(

it is also possible to use any column in any table by using:

%#!TABLE_NAME@COLUMN_NAME%

for example:

%#!computer_display@group_name%
