Organizing the System Tree
Creating and populating groups
11 To synchronize the group with Active Directory immediately, click Synchronize Now.
Clicking Synchronize Now saves any changes to the synchronization settings before synchronizing the
group. If you have an Active Directory synchronization notification rule enabled, an event is
generated for each system added or removed (these events appear in the Audit Log, and are
queryable). If you deployed agents to added systems, the deployment is initiated to each added
system. When the synchronization completes, the Last Synchronization time is updated, displaying the
time and date when the synchronization finished, not when any agent deployments completed.
12 When the synchronization completes, view the results with the System Tree.
Once the systems are imported, distribute agents to them if you did not select to do so automatically.
Also, consider setting up a recurring NT Domain/Active Directory Synchronization server task to keep
your System Tree up to date with any new systems or organizational changes in your Active Directory
containers.

Importing NT domains to an existing group

Use this task to import systems from an NT domain to a group you created manually.
You can populate groups automatically by synchronizing entire NT domains with specified groups. This
is an easy way to add all the systems in your network to the System Tree at once as a flat list with no
system description.
If the domain is very large, you can create subgroups to assist with policy management or System
Tree organization. To do this, first import the domain into a group of your System Tree, then manually
create logical subgroups.
To manage the same policies across several domains, import each of the
domains into a subgroup under the same group, on which you can set
policies that inherit into each of the subgroups.
When using this method:
Set up IP address or tag sorting criteria on subgroups to automatically sort the imported systems.
Schedule a recurring NT Domain/Active Directory Synchronization server task for easy maintenance.
For option definitions, click ? in the interface.

Alternatively, you can schedule an NT Domain/Active Directory
Synchronization server task for the first synchronization. This is useful if
you are deploying agents to new systems on the first synchronization,
when bandwidth is a larger concern.
