IP range:
192.168.17.0 - 192.168.17.55
will add to the same group all the machines whose operating system is Windows 2000 or
Windows 2003 and belong to the SERVERS organizational unit and whose IP addresses are
within the range 192.168.17.0 - 192.168.17.55.
How long does a dynamic group member remain in the group?
A dynamic group member remains in the group as long as the member meets the criteria. The
member is removed from the group automatically as soon as
the member changes so that it no longer meets the criteria
the administrator changes the criteria so that the member no longer meets the criteria
There is no way to remove a machine from a dynamic group manually except for deleting the
machine from the management server.
Organizational unit criterion
Organizational unit criterion is specified for the domain the management server is currently in, as
follows:
OU=OU1
Select an organizational unit from the Active Directory tree by clicking
Browse
, or typing it manually.
If the domain access credentials were not specified in the management server options, the program
will ask you to provide them. The credentials will be saved in the Domain access credentials (p. 83)
option.
For example, suppose that the domain
us.corp.example.com
has OU1 (which is in the root), OU1 has
OU2, and OU2 has OU3. And you need to add the machines of OU3. So, the criterion will be:
OU=OU3, OU=OU2, OU=OU1
If OU3 has child containers and you also need to add the machines of those containers to the group,
select the
Include child containers
check box.
Listed in txt/csv file criterion
When you use this criterion, the dynamic group will include machines from the list given in the
specified .txt or .csv file.
If you later modify the file, the contents of the group will change accordingly. The file is checked
every 15 minutes.
If you later delete the file or if it becomes unavailable, the contents of the group will correspond to
the list that was last stored in the file.
Text file requirements
The file should contain machine names or IP addresses, one machine per line.
Example:
Machine_name_1
Machine_name_2
192.168.1.14
192.168.1.15
A registered machine has to be specified by its registration address, that is, you need to provide
exactly the same host name, fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or IP address as was specified
