Icon Group Type Definition
Parent System Groups Devices identified in your network are automatically
assigned a group membership based on their
operating system, Active Directory membership, or IP
Address. Not all operating systems, AD Groups, or IP
Ranges may be shown. This is because Patch
Management Server creates system groups based
upon those devices present in your network. You
cannot modify System Groups or their hierarchies.

Service Groups Created when an Agent submits a Directory Service
Hierarchy that does not already exist in the Patch
Management Server. You cannot modify Directory
