Associating a Processing Rule Group with a Computer Group

To enable agents to apply processing rules to the correct computers, you must associate a processing rule group with a computer group. Agents on computers within the computer group apply the rules in the processing rule group as necessary.

Note

• If you have a child processing rule group, which is a processing rule group contained within another processing rule group, you might want to associate computer groups to the child processing rule group.

To associate a processing rule group with a computer group:

1. Expand Microsoft Operations Manager (default) in the left pane.
2. Expand Rules in the left pane.
3. Expand Processing Rule Groups in the left pane.
4. In the right pane, click the processing rule group you want to associate with a computer group.
5. Click Action on the menu bar.
6. Click Associate with Computer Group on the Action menu.
7. Follow the instructions on the Computer Groups tab. For more information about the fields on a window, click Help.
