Managing with client groups

Creating new client groups

Adding clients to a client group

You can create as many client groups as you need to manage your clients
efficiently.
All server groups contain a single Groups folder that contains all of the groups
for that server group. When you create a new client group, the client group
appears inside the Groups folder.
To create a new client group
1 In the Symantec System Center console, in the left pane, right-click the
server group to which you want to add the client group, and then click
Unlock Server Group.
2 Right-click the Groups folder, and then click New Group.
3 In the New Client Group dialog box, in the Enter name of the new client
group text box, type the name for the new client group.
The name cannot have more than 15 characters.
4 To apply the settings from an existing client group to the new client group,
select the name of the existing client group from the drop-down list.
5 Click Create.
Computers that are running Symantec AntiVirus server, client, and legacy
versions can be added to client groups. Both clients are treated identically. If a
legacy Norton AntiVirus client does not have the feature for which a
configuration option setting is set, the setting is ignored.
Note: Only Symantec AntiVirus servers support client groups; legacy versions of
Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition do not.
A client can belong to only one client group.
To add a client to a client group
1 In the Symantec System Center console, in the left pane, click the server
that contains the client.
2 In the right pane, move the client to the client group using a drag-and-drop
operation.
