After an agent is installed and reports to the Security
Server, the server adds it to a group.
-
Security Agents installed on server platforms are added to the Servers (default) group.
-
Security Agents installed on desktop platforms are added to the Desktops (default) group.
Note
You can assign Security Agents to other groups by moving them. For details, see Moving Agents. -
Each Messaging Security Agent (Advanced only) is its own group. It is not possible to organize several Messaging Security Agents into one group.
If the number of agents reflected on the Security Groups Tree is incorrect, it is
possible that agents may have been removed without
the server being notified (for example, if
client-server communication was lost while
removing the agent). This causes the server to
retain agent information in its database and show
the agent as offline on the web console. When you
reinstall the agent, the server creates a new
record in the database and treats the agent as
new, causing duplicate agents to appear on the
Security Groups Tree. To check for duplicate agent
records, use the Agent Connection Verification
feature in .
