Adding clients to specific computer groups

Adding clients to specific computer groups
Submitted by nusse on 3 September, 2008 - 05:22.

I'm getting ready to deploy DS 6.9 (fresh server) and have created several Computer Groups in the DS to better organize the clients.

My question is, how do I deploy the client and have it automatically populate to those computer groups so that I don't have to manually move them when I roll it out?

I found the KB on this once but for the life of me can't find it when I need it :).

Thanks.

If I understand correctly you have been testing DS 6.9 and have created groups of computers in the console. right? if this is the case DS 6.9 allows you to export computers. So in the DS console highlight all the groups you want exported out and under the File menu there is the import/export computers. This should create an xml file once you export the computers and u should be able to import to another the computers back to the console preserving the groupings.

Note. This is a new feature in DS 6.9..
