Using the SecurityCenter
Management of group administrators
Tips for large accounts
To more efficiently monitor large accounts and optimize SecurityCenter performance, we recommend
that you organize your computers into groups of no more than 100 computers. This enables you to
use the View filter to display reports and computer status by group, then drill down to see the
individual computers within a group as needed.
How can I manage groups?
The Manage Groups page displays the groups in your organization. Access the page by clicking the Manage
Groups button on the Computers page. If you have not created any groups or policies, only the Default
Group is displayed.
The Default Group
Until you create additional groups, all computers are assigned to the Default Group when the Total
Protection Service client software is installed. If you delete a group that contains computers, they are
moved into the Default Group. You cannot change the name of the Default Group.
After you create additional groups, you can assign computers to them during the installation process
or move computers into them at a later time.
