Creating and populating groups
Use these tasks to create and populate groups. You can populate groups with systems, either by
typing NetBIOS names for individual systems or by importing systems directly from your network. You
can also populate groups using drag-and-drop by dragging the selected systems and dragging them
into any group in the System Tree. Drag-and-drop also allows you to move groups and subgroups
within the System Tree.
There is no single way to organize a System Tree, and because every network is different, your
System Tree organization can be as unique as your network layout. Although you won’t use each
method offered, you can use more than one.
For example, if you use Active Directory in your network, consider importing your Active Directory
containers rather than your NT domains. If your Active Directory or NT domain organization does not
make sense for security management, you can create your System Tree in a text file and import it into
your System Tree. If you have a smaller network, you can create your System Tree by hand and add
each system manually.
