Hi @cris_5896,

Thanks for reaching out. Currently, Adobe Update Server Setup Tool (AUSST) does not natively support filtering updates by hostname. AUSST primarily allows filtering by groups, applications, and versions. However, you can create custom filters for specific groups, applications, and versions to manage updates more efficiently.

For more details, refer to the following documentation:
Filtering Apps with AUSST
AUSST Common Use Cases

Given your situation with a large number of users and high turnover, you might consider using your internal systems to create groups based on hostname patterns or other criteria. This approach allows you to leverage AUSST's filtering capabilities indirectly. Alternatively, if your devices have structured hostnames, you could implement DNS-based filtering to direct only specific hostnames to your AUSST server while allowing others to default to Adobe’s update servers.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,
^AN
