Procedure

1. Navigate to Networked Computers → Client Grouping
2. Go to the Client Grouping section and select Custom client groups.
3. Go to the Automatic Client Grouping section.
4. 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.
   • If you selected IP Address, see the configuration instructions in Defining a Client Grouping Rule by IP Addresses.
5. If you created more than one rule, prioritize the rules by performing these steps:
   1. Select a rule.
   2. 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.
6. To use the rules during client sorting:
   1. Select the check boxes for the rules that you want to use.
   2. Ensure that the rules are enabled. Under the Status column, a green check mark icon () should appear. If a red "x" mark icon () appears, clicking the icon enables the rule and changes the icon to green.

   Note If you do not select the check box for a rule or if you disable a rule, the rule will not be used when sorting clients in the client tree. For example, if the rule dictates that a client should move to a new domain, the client will not move and stays in its current domain.

7. Specify a sorting schedule in the Scheduled Domain Creation section.
   1. Select Enable scheduled domain creation.
   2. Specify the schedule under Schedule-based Domain Creation.
8. Choose from the following options:
   • Save and Create Domain Now: Choose this option if you specified new domains in Defining a Client Grouping Rule by IP Addresses, step 7 or in Defining a Client Grouping Rule by Active Directory Domains, step 7.
   • Save: Choose this option if you did not specify new domains or want to create the new domains only when client sorting runs.

   Note Client sorting will not start after completing this step.
