You can set up client installation packages with their group membership already
defined. If you define a group in the package, the client automatically is added to
the appropriate group. The client is added the first time it makes a connection to
the management server.
You can turn on blocking if you do not want clients to be added automatically to
a specific group when they connect to the network.
The blocking option prevents users from automatically being added to a group.
You can block a new client from being added to the group to which they were
assigned in the client installation package. In this case, the client gets added to
the default group. You can manually move a computer to a blocked group.
To block clients from being added to groups
1 In the console, click Computers.
