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.
