Block computers from receiving updates
Use this feature to prevent unauthorized computers that are connecting to your network
(sometimes called rogue systems) from receiving service updates.
To block computers:
On the Computers page, select the computers you want to block, then click Block.
To unblock computers:
On the Computers page, select Blocked to list all blocked computers, then select the computers
you want to unblock and click
Unblock.
Delete computers from your reports
Use this feature to remove obsolete computers and duplicate computers from your listings.
Duplicates typically appear when the Enforced Client client software has been installed more
than once on a single computer or when users install it on their new computers without
uninstalling it from their previous computers.
Note
To delete computers:
On the Computers page, select the computers you want to delete, then click Delete.
See View duplicate computers on page 80 for information on displaying a complete listing of
duplicate computers in a report.
Move computers into a group
Every client computer is part of a group (see Creating groups to manage your site on page 71
for more information). Initially, you assign computers to a group when installing Enforced
Client. If no group is specified, computers are placed in the
Default group.
You can move computers into a different group at any time.
To move computers:
1 On the Computers page, select the computers you want to move.
2 From the Move to list, select the group you want to move the computers to.
You must create the group before you can move computers into it. See Create or edit a group
on page 72.
3 Click Move.
Creating groups to manage your site
A group consists of one or more computers that use the same policy of security settings. You can
base groups on geographic location, department, computer type, the tasks performed by the
users, or anything meaningful to your organization.
Deleting a computer does not uninstall the Enforced Client client software. If you mistakenly
delete a computer with working client software from the report, it automatically reappears in your
listing the next time its report data is uploaded. However, you will no longer be able to view the
historical detection data for that computer.
