Important
Computers across domains are not listed in the Computer name box. To find a computer across a trusted domain, you must type the fully qualified domain name of the computer you want to protect (for example, Computer1.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, where Computer1 is the name of the target computer that you want to protect, and Domain1.corp.microsoft.com is the domain to which the target computer belongs).

Add

Click Add to move the computers to the Selected computers list box. As you add the computers, your selections appear in the Selected computers list box.

Remove

Click Remove to remove the computers from the Selected computers list box.

Add Multiple Computers

If you want to add multiple computers, you can create a .txt file containing the computers you want to add. To add the computers, click Add Multiple Computers. You must enter each computer in the file on a new line. We recommend that you provide the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the target computers. For example, enter multiple computers in a .txt file as Computer1.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, Computer2.Domain1.corp.microsoft.com, Computer3.Domain2.corp.microsoft.com.

After selecting the computers for the protection group, click Next.
