Creating groups manually ePO 4.5

Posted: November, 15 2009

Use this task to create groups manually. You can populate these groups with systems by typing NetBIOS names for individual systems or by importing systems directly from your network.

Task
For option definitions, click ? on the page displaying the options.
1 From the ePO Menu select System Tree | Group Details, then select the desired group
in the System Tree, under which to create another group.
2 In the Actions menu click New Subgroup at the bottom of the page. The New Subgroup dialog box appears.
3 Type the desired name then click OK. The new group appears in the System Tree.
4 Repeat as necessary until you are ready to populate the groups with the desired systems.
Add systems to the System Tree and ensure they get to the desired groups by:

• Typing system names manually.
• Importing them from NT domains or Active Directory containers. You can regularly synchronize a domain or a container to a group for ease of maintenance.
• Setting up IP address-based or tag-based sorting criteria on the groups. When agents check in from systems with matching IP address information or matching tags, they are automatically placed in the appropriate group.
