Automatic Client Grouping
2-42
Automatic client grouping uses rules defined by IP addresses or Active Directory
domains. If a rule defines an IP address or an IP address range, the OfficeScan server
will group a client with a matching IP address to a specific domain in the client tree.
Similarly, if a rule defines one or several Active Directory domains, the OfficeScan
server will group a client belonging to a particular Active Directory domain to a specific
domain in the client tree.
Clients apply only one rule at a time. Prioritize rules so that if a client satisfies more than
one rule, the rule with the highest priority applies.
To configure automatic client grouping:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > CLIENT GROUPING
1. Go to the Client Grouping section and select Custom client groups.
2. Go to the Automatic Client Grouping section.
3. To start creating rules, click Add and then select either Active Directory or IP
Address.
• If you selected Active Directory, see the configuration instructions in Defining
a Client Grouping Rule by Active Directory Domains on page 2-44.
• If you selected IP Address, see the configuration instructions in Defining a
Client Grouping Rule by IP Addresses on page 2-46.
4. If you created more than one rule, prioritize the rules by performing these steps:
a. Select a rule.
b. Click an arrow under the Grouping Priority column to move the rule up or
down the list. The ID number of the rule changes to reflect the new position.
