Use this task to create a text file of the NetBIOS names for your network systems that you want to import into a group. You can import a flat list of systems, or organize the systems into groups, then add the specified systems to them. You can create the text file by hand. In large networks, use other network administration tools to generate a text file list of systems on your network.
Define the groups and their systems by typing the group and system names in a text file. Then import that information into ePolicy Orchestrator. You must have network utilities, such as the NETDOM.EXE utility available with the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit, to generate complete text files containing complete lists of the systems on your network. Once you have the text file, edit it manually to create groups of systems, and import the entire structure into the System Tree.
Regardless of how you generate the text file, you must use the correct syntax before importing it.
