The main goal of grouping is protection of multiple machines with one policy. Once a machine

appears in a group, the policy applied to the group is applied to the machine and the new tasks are

created by the policy on the machine. Once a machine is removed from a group, the policy applied to

the group will be revoked from the machine and the tasks created by the policy will be removed.

Built-in group - a group that always exists on a management server. The group cannot be deleted or

renamed. A built-in group cannot include nested groups. A backup policy can be applied to a built-in

group. The example of a built-in group is the

All physical machines group, that contains all the

machines registered on the management server.

Custom groups - groups created manually by the management server administrator.

• Static groups

Static groups contain machines manually added to the group by the administrator. A static

member remains in the group until the administrator removes the member from the group or

deletes the corresponding managed machine from the management server.

• Dynamic groups

Dynamic groups contain machines added automatically according to the criteria specified by the

administrator. Once the criteria are specified, the management server starts to analyze the

existing machines' properties and will analyze every newly registered machine. The machine that

meets a certain dynamic criterion will appear in all groups that use this dynamic criterion.

To learn more about grouping machines, see the Grouping the registered machines (p. 66) section.

To learn more about how policies are applied to machines and groups, see the Policies on machines

and groups (p. 69) section.

Way of working with machines

• First, add machines to the management server. Adding machines is available, when selecting the

Physical machines view, or the All physical machines group in the Navigation tree.

• Select the group the required machine is in, then select the machine.

• Use the toolbar's operational buttons to take actions on the machine (p. 315).

• Use the Information panel's tabs to view detailed information about the selected machine and

perform additional operations, such as start/stop tasks, revoke policies, explore the policy

inheritance, etc. The panel is collapsed by default. To expand the panel, click the

chevron. The

content of the panel is also duplicated in the Machine details (p. 318) window.

• Use filtering and sorting (p. 323) capabilities for easy browsing and examination of the machines

in question.

Way of working with groups

• In the Physical machines view, select the group.

• Use the toolbar's operational buttons to perform actions on the selected group (p. 324).

• Use the Information panel's tabs to view detailed information about the selected group and

perform additional operations, such as revoke policies or explore policy inheritance. The panel is

collapsed by default. To expand the panel, click the

chevron. The content of the panel is also

duplicated in the Group details (p. 327) window.
