Organizing the System Tree

The System Tree is a graphical representation of how your managed network is organized. ePolicy
Orchestrator software allows you to automate and customize systems organization. The organizational
structure you put in place affects how security policies are inherited and enforced throughout your
environment.
You can organize your System Tree using any of these methods:
• Automatic synchronization with your Active Directory or NT domain server.
• Criteria-based sorting, using criteria applied to systems manually or automatically.
• Manual organization from with in the console (drag-and-drop).

• Lost&Found — The catch-all for any systems that have not, or could not be added to other groups
in your System Tree.
