Change Group

Agent > Change Group

The Change Group page assigns multiple machines IDs to a different group ID. Machines that are currently offline are assigned the next time they check in.

Procedure

1. Select one or more machine IDs in the paging area.
2. Select a group ID from the Select new group ID drop down menu.
3. Click one of the following radio buttons:
   • Move agent at next check-in then rename account on the KServer - Select this option to assign multiple machine IDs to a different group ID at the next check-in for each agent. This option guarantees that the agents and KServer remain in sync.
   • Move account on KServer immediately - Select this option to re-assign machine IDs immediately to a different group ID.

     Warning: If a machine ID account is re-assigned immediately to a different group ID and has an actively checking-in agent and auto account creation is enabled for a group using System > Check-in Policy, a new machine account will be created at the client's next check in using the original machine ID / group ID. 

4. Click the Move button.
