The only way I know of how to submit a list of servers is to use the "Define" icon and then choose WHERE "Machine Name" IN (paste in a formatted list of servers here). The problem is that the server names must be in the format:
('SERVER1','SERVER2','SERVER3')
I have been using Excel to change my normal list of servers into this format, but this seems to be an extremely clumsy approach. Is there any better way to submit a list of server? I'm not even sure what the limit is for pasting in this list, as I could be submitting a list of over 1000 server (but not every server that is set up in VCM). I know I can create a special machine group, but I don't want to do that for each and every software deployment. We might be rolling a product out in phases and may do 200 servers a week for several months (and I don't want to create a machine group for each deployment).
