NSX-T Group membership question

[jeffj2000]

Hi. I have a question on group membership criteria in NSX-T v3.1.1 when you are doing membership criteria for a Virtual Machine, could someone explain the differences between Name, OS Name, and Computer Name please? I was actually looking for a way to include say all Windows family VM. We are coming from NSX-V and this is so different. We are currently in testing phase and we are using Federation and it seems lots of the VM tag operations are even more limited. Thanks,,,

VM Name

All VMs that contain/equal/starts/not-equals with the string as part of their name.

Tags

All VMs that are applied with specified NSX-T security tags

OS Name

All VM with specific operating System type and version

Computer name

All VMs that contain/equal/starts/not-equals with the string as part of their hostname.

You could use something like this:

Virtual Machine

OS Name

Contains

Windows
