Working With Groups - McAfee TSA00M005PAA - Total Protection Service Product Manual

Using the SecurityCenter
Management of computer groups
For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single
group called Sales Team. Then you can configure special security settings for those computers
to provide greater protection against threats in unsecured networks such as airports and
hotels. You can also track the number of detections on those computers through more
frequent reports and adjust the security settings as needed.
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.
