Windows Device Groups

Windows Device Groups allow you to group managed Windows devices and administer them together. When a Windows device becomes managed, it automatically inherits settings from the default group.

Note: Specific devices within a group can be configured to override inherited settings from the group.

1. Navigate to the Windows Devices Groups tab in the Client Manager category and click Tasks > Add .
2. On the Main tab page, specify a group name and an optional description.
3. On the OS Settings tab page:
   • Select the Replace desktop option to limit the interface of this groups devices. Specify the Admin Mode Password required to switch the device between user and admin modes.
   • Select the Enable Firewall option to add inbound ports. To add an inbound port, click Tasks > Add .
