The ID groups that are reserved for registration are displayed in the List of selected ID groups. The comment Now registering in ID groups appears, and the background turns yellow.
   The reserved settings in the Register in ID Group dialog box are reported to the relay managing the ID when the client logs on for the first time in an environment that permits client communications with the relay managing the ID or when the Register in ID Group icon is chosen.

To revise ID information:

1. Select the ID group from the List of selected ID groups.

   The Revise ID Group dialog box appears.
   
3. Revise the ID group name and password, and then Choose OK.
   The ID group information is revised. The revised ID group is shown with the notation Now registering in ID groups and the background turns yellow.
   

• You cannot use a client facility while the Register in ID Group dialog box is open. Therefore, as soon as the ID registration process is finished, you should close the Register in ID Group dialog box.
• If connection destination servers are changed in a client setup process, the client should be re-registered into its ID groups.
• If a client is set up to automatically report updated inventory information to the managing server and to use WUA to detect patch information, it may take a while before the Register in ID Group dialog box opens after it is started.
