Select an organizational unit from the Active Directory tree by clicking Browse, or typing it manually.
If the domain access credentials were not specified in the management server options, the program
will ask you to provide them. The credentials will be saved in the Domain access credentials (p. 388)
option.
For example, suppose that the domain us.corp.example.com has OU1 (which is in the root), OU1
has OU2, and OU2 has OU3. And you need to add the machines of OU3. So, the criterion will be:
OU=OU3, OU=OU2, OU=OU1
If OU3 has child containers and you also need to add the machines of those containers to the group,
select the Include child containers check box.
Listed in txt/csv file criterion
When you use this criterion, the dynamic group will include machines from the list given in the
specified .txt or .csv file.
If you later modify the file, the contents of the group will change accordingly. The file is checked
every 15 minutes.
If you later delete the file or if it becomes unavailable, the contents of the group will correspond to
the list that was last stored in the file.
Text file requirements
The file should contain machine names or IP addresses, one machine per line.
Example:
Machine_name_1
Machine_name_2
192.168.1.14
192.168.1.15
A registered machine has to be specified by its registration address, that is, you need to provide
exactly the same host name, fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or IP address as was specified
when the machine was initially added to the management server. Otherwise, the machine will not be
added to the group. The registration address of each machine can be found in the Registration
address column in any management server view that contains the machine (the column is hidden by
default).
Move one group to another
To move the selected group to another group or to the root
1. In the groups tree, click the group to move the selected group to. You can move any type of
custom group (either static, or dynamic) to another custom group of any type, or to the root
folder.
The root folder of the machines tree contains groups of the first level. Groups that include other
groups are called parent groups. Groups that are in parent groups are called child groups. All the
centralized backup plans created for the parent group will be deployed to the machines of its
child groups as well.
2. Click OK.
Editing custom groups
Editing a custom group is performed in the same way as creating (p. 370) one.
