Groups are used to perform tasks on many devices at once, such as deploying the HPCA Agent or creating a job to notify devices when updated software is available. Devices are added to groups based on search criteria that you define during group creation. The following sections describe the different group management tasks available.
To create an external directory group:
Groups for mounted external directory sources (LDAP or Active Directory, for example) must be created using the tools provided by the directory service. Contact your system administrator for details.
To create an internal directory group:
The following procedure creates groups for internal directories. Groups that you create in the HPCA Console are created in the internal zone under the Groups container.
To modify a group description or devices:
Click Delete this Directory Object.
This removes only the group object. It does not remove the devices in the group.
