About computer groups
You organize computers with similar security needs into groups. For example,
you might organize the computers in your accounting department into the
Accounting group. The group structure that you define most likely matches the
structure of your organization.
The Symantec Protection Center console contains the following default groups:
■ The My Company group is the top-level, or parent, group. It contains a flat
tree of child groups. The child group structure matches the organizational
structure of your company.
■ The Laptops and Desktops group contains portable computers and desktop
computers. The Laptops and Desktops group is a child group under the My
Company parent group.
■ The Servers group contains the computers that run a supported Windows
Server operating system. The Servers group is a child group under the My
Company parent group.
You can place your client computers in the Laptops and Desktops group, the
Servers group, or a group that you defined.
You cannot rename or delete the default groups.
