Managing Unassigned Computers

The Unassigned Computers page allows you to view the client computers, IP subnets, or Active Directory domains that have not been assigned to any computer group. You can use this page to discover the computers on your network and then add them to groups depending on the organization’s structure and your requirements.



User Interface

The Unassigned Computers node in the navigation bar has three sub-nodes: Network Computers, IP Subnets, and Active Directory. When you click a sub-node, the corresponding page is displayed.
Each page is organized like a file explorer window. It is divided into two panes with the left pane showing a console tree and the right pane (the task pane), showing the information about the selected node in the console tree.
Each page also shows an Action List menu, which allows you to set the host configuration, move the selected computer to a computer group, view the properties of the computer or group, and refresh the client computer. Initially, on all these pages, the Action List menu is disabled. To enable it, you must select a computer name in the task pane.
For more information about this menu, please refer to the Managed Computers chapter of this document.
