Adding Cloned Desktops to Active Directory Group

You must create a group in AD that contains all the cloned desktops that you want to exclude from entitlement. The group is an OU. The OU is a directory object in HPCA Enterprise, which you can associate with a policy that denies patch services to this OU. For more information, see Denying Patch Services to Cloned Desktops.

To create a new group for cloned desktops in the Active Directory:

  1. Create a new group in AD.
  2. Add the cloned desktops to the group. When searching for the cloned desktops to add to this group, use the pattern used to name the devices. The pattern search string will list only the cloned desktops simplifying the task of adding them to the group.
  3. Click OK.

Note: If you add more cloned desktops to your network, ensure that they are added to this group. It is not done automatically.
