8.3.5 Notes on using ID groups

This subsection provides notes on using ID groups.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Renaming a client host
(2) Deleting system configuration information in a client registered in an ID group
(3) When the Edit ID Group folder is created

(1) Renaming a client host

In an environment that uses ID groups, the system does not automatically change ID group information. Therefore, if you want to rename the host of a client, you must first delete the client from the ID groups in which it is registered. Then, after you rename the host, register the client into the ID groups again.

(2) Deleting system configuration information in a client registered in an ID group

Even if you use the settings to delete system configuration information for a client that is registered in an ID group, the system does not automatically delete the client's ID group registration information. Therefore, before deleting the system configuration information for a client, you should delete its ID group registration.

If you have deleted a client's system configuration information without deleting its ID group registration, you can delete the ID group registration from the Remote Installation Manager. For details about the deletion method, see 8.3.4 Editing an ID group.

You can also automatically link system configuration information and ID group information. For details, see 8.4 Linking system configuration information and ID group information.

(3) When the Edit ID Group folder is created

If an Edit ID Group folder is created in the Job Status window, do not delete this folder or the jobs in the folder.

The Edit ID Group folder is used to store jobs for registering clients into ID groups and for adding relays managing IDs. These ID group editing jobs are created automatically and are then deleted upon normal termination.

If you have deleted the ID group editing jobs manually, ID group editing no longer takes place. In such a case, re-execute the ID group editing operation (such as registering clients into an ID group and adding relays managing IDs).
