This subsection describes how to apply an existing policy to all host groups. Note that you can only apply policies using this method to hosts that are already registered in the system configuration information. You cannot use this method for newly created hosts.
To apply policies to all host groups:
- In the Destination window, choose Options, and then choose Auto Host Group/ID Maintenance.
The Policy Setup dialog box appears.
Another way to display this dialog box is to choose File, and then Create Host Group to display the Create Host Group dialog box. Then, in this dialog box, choose Create the policy for a host group.

- Select the policy type to be applied to all hosts, and then click the Execute button.
- All policies
- Choose All policies to add all policies displayed in the policy list of the Policy Setup dialog box to the host group. Note, however, that policies for newly created hosts are not applied.
- Batch application is not applicable to a policy for ID groups regardless of the type.
- Select the policy type to apply
- Select the following policy types to be applied to all hosts; you can select more than one policy type:
- IP address
- OS type
- User inventory items
Select the policy type(s) and then click the Execute button. Hosts registered in the system configuration information are added to host groups according to the selected policy.
- Organization of this subsection
- (1) Immediately adding new hosts to host groups
- (2) Backing up a host group
(1) Immediately adding new hosts to host groups
If you want to immediately add new hosts to host groups according to the policy you set, use the following methods to update the host groups:
- Group by IP address
For the relay manager and relay systems, execute a Get system configuration information job. For a client on the same PC as the relay manager, in the Destination window, choose File, and then Create Destination to open the Create Destination dialog box. Use this dialog box to add the hosts.
- Group new hosts
In the System Configuration window, choose Options, and then Find to open the Find dialog box. Use this dialog box to find hosts by date, and then register the found hosts into the host group.
- Group by OS type
Re-execute a Get system configuration information job.
- Group by user inventory items
Re-execute a Get user inventory information job.
(2) Backing up a host group
To back up a host group, display the Destination window and rename the host group you want to save in a backup. When you rename a host group, the host group with the new name is excluded from auto host maintenance and can therefore be saved as a backup. If you add or change hosts after renaming the host group, the host group with the original name is re-created according to the policy setup and is subsequently updated.
