Manage Route Limiting Rules

A route limiting rule (previously known as a route scope) allows actions to be run over a specified route only if the target devices are within the defined limits. Adding a route limiting rule can be especially helpful where the environment includes multiple domains with varying trust levels. 

You can limit a Recast Proxy Route to devices in one or more of the following:

  • Active Directory - domain, OU, group
  • Configuration Manager - site, device collection

Add or Edit a Route Limiting Rule

To add or edit a limiting rule applied to an existing route:

1. On the Routes page, click the Edit icon to the right of the route.

2. In the Edit Route window that opens, enable the Limit to devices option.

3. Select a Configuration Manager or Active Directory Service Connection.

4. Select the devices to include.

NOTE: You must apply the limiting rule separately for each service connection.

5. Click Submit.

Route Limiting Rule Notes

Fast Channel Route

  • You must configure a limiting rule for a Fast Channel route. 
  • You can only apply a limiting rule to a ConfigMgr service connection.
  • You cannot apply multiple limiting rules concurrently.
  • You can only run actions on devices that are Fast Channel-capable, meaning that Recast Agents are deployed to the devices.

Proxy Route

  • Limiting rules set up for the proxy account user apply.
  • If a device is included in multiple proxy route limiting rules, the device's limiting rules will be an aggregate of all the applied limiting rules.

Remove a Route Limiting Rule

To remove a route limiting rule:

1. On the Routes page, click the Edit icon to the right of the route.

2. In the Edit Route window, disable the Limit to devices option.

3. Click Submit.
