Creating Computer Groups<br />

Computer groups offer an easy way to identify and manage clients that share common attributes or meet<br />

custom criteria. You can use these groups to assign computers to a policy’s scope and track clients for<br />

reporting purposes.<br />

The <strong>JAMF</strong> <strong>Software</strong> Server (JSS) allows you to create two kinds of computer groups: smart computer<br />

groups and static computer groups. Smart computer groups are based on inventory attributes and have<br />

dynamic group membership. This means that group membership changes automatically anytime a<br />

change in criteria or client inventory occurs. Conversely, static computer groups are hardcoded and have<br />

fixed memberships that can only be changed by an administrator.<br />

Only enrolled computers can be members of a computer group.<br />

This section explains how to create two kinds of computer groups:<br />

• A smart computer group<br />

A static computer group<br />

• <br />

To create a smart computer group:<br />

1. Log in to the JSS with a web browser.<br />

2. Click the Management tab.<br />

3. Click the Smart Computer Groups link.<br />

4. Click the Create Smart Group button in the toolbar.<br />

5. Enter a name for the group in the Computer Group Name field.<br />
