If you want to retroactively associate previously registered clients with a newly added child channel, I think you may have to script something to process this. For example, you can make use of “spacecmd system_addchildchannels” to associate the system or system groups with the child channel. </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’m not sure if “Reactivation” within the GUI using the generated key would also work, but that is also a possibility to investigate.</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">From:</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a> <<a href="mailto:spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com" target="_blank">spacewalk-list-bounces@redhat.com</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Guy Matz<br> <b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, June 11, 2019 4:21 PM<br> <b>To:</b> <a href="mailto:Spacewalk-list@redhat.com" target="_blank">Spacewalk-list@redhat.com</a><br> <b>Subject:</b> [Spacewalk-list] Best Practice for adding a child Channel?</span><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hi!
