Device groups

In BMC Client Management, Device Groups are another way of organizing all managed devices within your network. The structure defined through the groups is individual and freely configurable by the administrator. These groups can contain any type of device, that is, clients, relays or even the master server. Devices can also be present in more than one group. For example, a Windows 7 client may be in a group called Windows 7 Servers and at the same time in another group called Accounting Clients. Device groups can thus be used to create extensive and comprehensive inventories, facilitate the installation of new software within the network, or to simply modify a configuration setting.
