This is a good topic. I have about 6500 machines that I want to accomplish
the same thing for. What I am doing now is creating a collection based on the
initial criteria that is required and then modify the SQL statement to
include subnets. I keep adding subnets to the query with OR statements and
eventually everyone gets it. The only pain is that I have to manually keep
track of who I have given what to. I will look into the SDK documentation.
