Manage Computers
When Group Management is enabled, you can manage multiple client computers as a single entity. Create your own groups by department, function or security concern, or simply use the groups automatically created by domain or workgroup. Groups can help you set a consistent computer/Internet use policy and meet government regulations for specific offices within your organization.
As you prepare to manage groups, keep these points in mind:
A computer belongs to its domain (or workgroup) unless you assign it to a different group when adding it to the Control Center. Group Management must be enabled before you get any group options. More...
A computer cannot belong to more than one group.
You can reassign a computer to a different group. More...
You can rename or delete groups.
When Groups are displayed (Show Groups Only) in Manage Computers or Configure Computers, you can select a group and apply an action to all computers in the group. Otherwise an action applies only to the selected computer.
You can perform the following functions on a group. Use Show Groups Only and apply the action
to the group instead of to an individual computer.
Manage Computers:
Reserve / Verify Client License More...
Install / Uninstall the Client More...
Verify / Delete Install task
Configure Computers:
When you select Show Groups Only in Manage Computers below the computer list, you get a list of groups. This gives you a consolidated view of computer and license status in each group. Use this view to apply actions to a group.
Fields in this view are:
Group - The name of the domain or workgroup group (automatically created when Group Management is enabled) or the name of custom groups created to manage specific computers.
Computer Count - The number of computers assigned to the group.
Installed Count - The number of computers in the group with an installed Client Recorder.
Total Licenses - The number of computers with valid Client licenses
Active - Number of licensed Clients that have checked in with the Primary Server and are recording.
Reserved - Number of licenses reserved for computers in the group, where the Client Recorder has not checked in with the Primary Server (is not yet installed and delivering dating).
Select Show Group Computers to view and select computers within a group. This conveniently limits the Manage Computers list to computers in a group. It allows you to more closely explore status and to adjust configuration for one or two clients in the group. Note that all actions apply only to the selected computer in this view, not the group.
