Creating Organizations Automatically During Update

Kaseya 2 introduces organizations to the machine group hierarchy that did not exist in earlier versions of the VSA. Each machine group must belong to an organization. During an update of Kaseya 2 from a 5.1 or earlier version, or during a restore of Kaseya 2, you are asked to decide how organizations should be created for machine groups.

This question is asked when you are:

• You are upgrading from Kaseya 5.1 or earlier.
• You previously installed a new VSA and click the Restore button on the System > Configure page to restore a database from Kaseya version 5.1 or earlier.
