What is Dynamic Grouping?
Dynamic Grouping is the process by which ESP manages membership of host groups (sets of systems) based on specific attributes. An example would be, “all Dell Laptops that are wireless and have writeable USB media, that are running Windows XP, and on which a member of the Finance AD user group is currently logged in.” The ESP Dynamic Grouping mechanism allows you to define groups of systems based on these (and many other criteria), with group membership dynamically updated as machine configurations, and logged-in-users, change. Based on the information continually gathered by the ESP agents, the membership of these groups is refreshed every few minutes.
