OfficeScan Domains
2-40
A domain in OfficeScan is a group of clients that share the same configuration and run
the same tasks. By grouping clients into domains, you can configure, manage, and apply
the same configuration to all domain members. For more information on client
grouping, see Client Grouping on page 2-40.
Client Grouping
Use Client Grouping to manually or automatically create and manage domains on the
OfficeScan client tree.
There are two ways to group clients into domains:

DESCRIPTIONS
Manual client grouping defines the domain to
which a newly installed client should belong.
When the client appears in the client tree,
you can move it to another domain or to
another OfficeScan server.
Manual client grouping also allows you to
create, manage, and remove domains in the
client tree.
For details, see Manual Client Grouping on
page 2-41.
Automatic client grouping uses rules to sort
clients in the client tree. After you define the
rules, you can access the client tree to
manually sort the clients or allow OfficeScan
to automatically sort them when specific
events occur or at scheduled intervals.
For details, see Automatic Client Grouping on
page 2-42.
