Unlike Active Directory synchronization, only the system names are synchronized with NT domain
synchronization; the system description is not synchronized.
Criteria-based sorting
As in past releases of ePolicy Orchestrator, you can use IP address information to automatically sort
managed systems into specific groups. You can also create sorting criteria based on tags, which are
like labels assigned to systems. You can use either type of criteria or both to ensure systems are
where you want them in the System Tree.
Systems only need to match one criterion of a group's sorting criteria to be placed in the group.
After creating groups and setting your sorting criteria, perform a Test Sort action to confirm that the
criteria and sorting order achieve the desired results.
Once you have added sorting criteria to your groups, you can run the Sort Now action. The action
moves selected systems to the appropriate group automatically. Systems that do not match the
sorting criteria of any group are moved to Lost&Found.
New systems that call in to the server for the first time are added automatically to the correct group.
However, if you define sorting criteria after the initial agent-server communication, you must run the
Sort Now action on those systems to move them immediately to the appropriate group, or wait until
the next agent-server communication.
