How to populate machine groups in Ghost Console.

Cause

GSS 3.3

Resolution

NOTES:

• Do not rename the Default machine group. This group is used when a client reports into the console for the first time. If this group does not exist, Ghost will add the client to the database but into a random group.
• You can only have a client in a partiticular group once. Meaning, that if you have subgroups, it can only be in a single subgroup of a parent group. If you try to have a client in more than one subgroup in a tree, you will see error "Cannot paste in same machine root group."
• You cannot drag/drop a client from one group to another. You must always copy/paste or cut/paste.

To create a static machine group:

1. Click on the Default Machine Group
2. Go to File > New > Folder
3. Give the new folder group a new name

To copy a client from the Default machine group (this will leave a copy in the Default group and there will be an instance in the target group):

1. Highlight the client (or set of clients) you want to copy
2. Select Edit > Copy
3. Open the target group
4. Select Edit > Paste

To move a client out of the Default machine group and into target group:

1. Highlight the client (or set of clients) you want to copy
2. Select Edit > Cut
3. Open the target group
4. Select Edit > Paste
