Adding targets to an Application Management Group

You can add targets to an Application Management Group from the Manage Application Management Group dashboard.

About this task

You can use the Add Target dialog to add Computer Groups or Active Directory Groups to the named target group.

Targets are computer groups that operators issue software distribution tasks to. These groups were previously defined in your console environment.

Procedure

  1. Select the Application Management Group to which you want to add targets.
    Note: If the status of the selected Application Management Group is "Deployed", you must deploy the Application Management Group again after adding the targets. For more information, see Deploying Application Management Groups.
  2. Open the Add Targets dialog.
    There are two ways to add targets from this dashboard:
    1. Click Add Targets from the Application Management Groups tab.
    2. Click Targets > Add Targets.

  4. Check the available targets for that group, and click Confirm Add.
    The targets that you added are shown under the Targets tab.

What to do next

If you already added tasks to the Application Management Group, you can now deploy the Application Management Group. For more information, see Deploying Application Management Groups. Otherwise, start adding tasks to the Application Management Group. For more information, see Adding tasks.
