Trend Micro Security Groups

A group in Trend Micro Security is a set of clients that share the same configuration and run the same tasks. By organizing clients into groups, you can simultaneously configure, manage, and apply the same configuration to all clients belonging to the groups.

For ease of management, group clients based on their departments or the functions they perform. You can also group clients that are at a greater risk of infection to apply a more secure configuration to all of them.

You can add or rename groups, move clients to a different group, or remove clients permanently. A client removed from the client tree is not automatically uninstalled from the client computer. The Trend Micro Security client can still perform server-dependent tasks, such as updating components. However, the server is unaware of the existence of the client and therefore cannot send configurations or notifications to the client.

If the client has been uninstalled from the computer, it is not automatically removed from the client tree and its connection status is "Offline". Manually remove the client from the client tree.
