2.3.2. Creating Endpoint Groups

Creating groups of computers allows the administrator to split large networks up into convenient and/or logical groupings. For

example, an administrator may create groups of computers called 'Sales Department', 'Accounts Department' , 'Vista

Workstations' , 'XP Workstations', 'Domain Controllers', '64 bit Machines' or 'All Managed Computers'. Once created, the

administrator can manage all machines belonging to that group together. Some of the benefits of grouping the computers are:

• The CIS security policies can be applied to the endpoints belonging to various groups as per their requirements

• Antivirus (AV) scans can be run on endpoints in a group together

• The AV signature database in the endpoints can be updated together

• Various reports can be generated for the endpoints belonging to a group as a single file

The 'group' tile in the 'computers' area enables the administrator to define groups and to add previously imported endpoint

computers into them as desired.

ESM SME is shipped with a default group 'Unassigned'. All the computers which are imported into ESM and yet to be assigned

to other groups, will be added to the 'Unassigned' group.

To create a new group

• Navigate to 'computers' area and click the 'group' tile.
