You can use JP1/Software Distribution Manager's System Configuration window or Destination window to search for newly added hosts and register them into host groups; you can also search for unneeded hosts and delete them from the system configuration information.

Three search methods are provided, as follows:

• Search using a name as the search key value (such as destination name, host group name, or ID group name)
• Search using a date as the search key value (such as host registration date or last date inventory information was updated)
• Search for hosts with the same MAC address, IP address, or host name but different host IDs (duplicate hosts)

This section describes each search method. It also describes how to copy the resulting hosts to the Destination window and how to delete them from the system configuration information.
