Computer Groups
You can classify Computers into groups. Some of the use cases where having Computer Groups can be convenient are as follows:
- You want to deploy Patches in Computers belonging to a particular department. You can create a Computer Group having all the Computers of that department and quickly create a Deployment Request with that group.
- If you want to deny a specific set of Computers certain Patches, then you can create a Computer Group and decline them the Patches. The Decline Patch Configuration feature allows you to perform such an action.
- You can test the download ability of a set of Patches by deploying them in a Computer Group. The Automatic Patch Test feature allows you to perform such tests.
To view the Computer Groups page, navigate to Admin > Patch Management > Computer Groups.
Here, you can created, edit, and delete a Computer Group.
