Defining Computer Groups

Individual computers can be made part of a computer group to allow for easier distribution of software packages to a number of computers. These groups can be assigned based on criteria such as similar attributes, uses, or domains.

Computer groups are typically defined at the enterprise manager, if the enterprise tier is used, and then replicated to the domain manager. Groups may of course also be defined at domains.

You can create a new computer group using the New Group dialog. The options available on the New Group dialog specify if the group is query enabled, that is, a dynamic group.
