Client Grouping Tasks

You can perform the following tasks when grouping clients in domains:

For Manual Client Grouping:

• Add a domain. Refer to To add a domain: >>>

• Delete a domain or client. Refer to To delete a domain or client: >>>

• Rename a domain. Refer to To rename a domain: >>>

• Move a client to another domain. Refer to To move a client: >>>

For Automatic Client Grouping:

• Sort clients. Refer to To sort clients: >>>

• Delete a domain or client. Refer to To delete a domain or client: >>>

To add a domain: >>>

• Networked Computers > Client Management > Manage Client Tree > Add Domains

1. Type a name for the domain you want to add.

2. Click Add. The new domain appears in the client tree.

3. Optionally, create subdomains:

1. Select the parent domain.

2. Click Manage Client Tree > Add domain.

3. Specify the subdomain name.

4. Repeat steps a to c to create additional subdomains.

To delete a domain or client: >>>

• Networked Computers > Client Management > Manage Client Tree > Remove Domain/Client

• When deleting a domain:

• If the domain is empty, click Remove Domain/Client.

• If the domain has clients, perform the following before deleting the domain:

• Move clients to other domains. To move clients to other domains, drag and drop clients to the destination domains.

• Delete all clients.

• When deleting domains with clients, OfficeScan automatically groups the clients under the root domain after these clients log on and connect to OfficeScan again.

• To delete a client, click Remove Domain/Client. If you select a domain, clicking Remove Domain/Client deletes all clients under the domain.

• Deleting a client from the client tree does not delete OfficeScan from the client computer. The OfficeScan client can still perform server-independent tasks, such as updating components. However, the server is unaware of the existence of the client and will not sent configurations or notifications to the client.

To rename a domain: >>>

• Networked Computers > Client Management > Manage Client Tree > Rename Domain

1. Type a new name for the domain.

2. Click Rename. The domain name with the new name appears in the client tree.

To move a client: >>>

• Networked Computers > Client Management > Manage Client Tree > Move Client

1. Select whether to move clients to another domain or OfficeScan server:

• To move clients to another domain, select Move selected client(s) to another domain, select the domain, and decide whether or not to apply the settings of the new domain to the clients.

• Alternatively, drag and drop the client to another domain in the client tree.

• To move clients to another OfficeScan server, enter the server name and HTTP port number under Move selected client(s) to another OfficeScan Server.

2. Click Move.

To sort clients: >>>

• Networked Computers > Client Management

1. Select the OfficeScan domain from the client tree.

2. Click Manage Client Tree > Sort Client.

3. Click Start.
