Client Grouping Tasks

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

For Manual Client Grouping:

Add a domain. See To add a domain: for details.
Delete a domain or client. See To delete a domain or client: for details.
Rename a domain. See To rename a domain: for details.
Move a client to another domain or another OfficeScan server. See To move a client to another domain or to another OfficeScan server: for details.

For Automatic Client Grouping:

Sort clients. See to To sort clients: for details.
Delete a domain or client. See To delete a domain or client: for details.

To add a domain:

Networked Computers > Client Management

Click Manage Client Tree > Add Domains.
Type a name for the domain you want to add.
Click Add. The new domain appears in the client tree.
(Optional) Create subdomains.

Select the parent domain.
Click Manage Client Tree > Add domain.
Type the subdomain name.

To delete a domain or client:

Networked Computers > Client Management

In the client tree, select:

One or several domains
One, several, or all clients belonging to a domain

Click Manage Client Tree > Remove Domain/Client.
To delete an empty domain, click Remove Domain/Client.

If the domain has clients and you click Remove Domain/Client, the OfficeScan server will re-create the domain and group all clients under that domain the next time clients connect to the OfficeScan server. You can perform the following tasks 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.

To delete a client, click Remove Domain/Client.

Deleting a client from the client tree does not remove 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 therefore not deploy configurations or send notifications to the client.

To rename a domain:

Networked Computers > Client Management

Select a domain in the client tree.
Click Manage Client Tree > Rename Domain.
Type a new name for the domain.
Click Rename. The new domain name appears in the client tree.

To move a client to another domain or to another OfficeScan server:

Networked Computers > Client Management

In the client tree, open a domain and select one, several, or all clients.
Click Manage Client Tree > Move Client.
To move clients to another domain:

Select Move selected client(s) to another domain.
Select the domain.
(Optional) Apply the settings of the new domain to the clients.
You can also drag and drop clients to another domain in the client tree.

To move clients to another OfficeScan server:

Select Move selected client(s) to another OfficeScan Server.
Type the server name or IPv4/IPv6 address and HTTP port number.

Click Move.

To sort clients:

Networked Computers > Client Management

In the client tree, perform any of the following:

To sort all clients, click the OfficeScan root domain icon .
To sort only the clients belonging to particular domains, select the domains.
To sort several or all clients belonging to a particular domain, open the domain and then select the clients.

Click Manage Client Tree > Sort Client.
Click Start.
Click Close when the sorting is complete. Sorted clients should now belong to their designated domains.
