Configuration templates let you manage service configurations for multiple managed servers. A template consists of a JSON file that specifies configuration and preference settings for a DNS/DHCP server. You can associate a JSON file with a Server Batch. When the batch is next updated, those settings will be applied.
You can set up and manage templates in the Configuration Templates page. (Click the Administration tab, then click Configuration Templates.)
Prerequisites
The following are required in order to use Configuration Templates:
BlueCat Address Manager or BDDS 9.3.0 or greater.
A configured BSUS Service Account. For more details, see Configuring the BSUS Service Account.
Sample configuration template
A Configuration template uses JSON to define the values of fields and settings for the
server. For example, the following sample template disables the firewall for a server:
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"services": {
"firewall": {
"configurations": [
{
"firewallConfiguration": {
"allowPing": false,
"enable": false
}
}
]
}
}
}
