Management of computer groups A group consists of one or more computers that share a particular feature. You can base groups on geographic location, department, computer type, the tasks performed by the users, or anything meaningful to your organization. By default, every computer in your account is placed into a group called Default Group. You can create other groups to place them in instead. Why use groups? Groups help you manage large numbers of computers or computers that use different security settings (defined in policies). Groups are particularly helpful in larger organizations or companies that are widely distributed geographically. Placing similar computers into a single group enables you to view and manage security issues for the group separately from the other computers in your account.
