Applies To: Operations Manager 2007

When imported, each individual client management pack creates a corresponding computer group. For example, when you install the Windows 7 Operating Systems Management Pack, a Windows 7 computer group is created.

The following groups are defined in this management pack:

  • All Business Critical Windows 2000 Clients

  • All Business Critical Windows XP Clients

  • All Business Critical Windows 2000/XP Clients

  • All Business Critical Windows Vista Clients

  • All Business Critical Windows 7 Clients

  • Windows Client Computer Group

  • Windows 7 Client Computer Group

  • Windows Client 2000 Computer Group

  • Windows Client Vista Computer Group

  • Windows Client XP Computer Group

  • Windows Client Instances Group

Note

Computer groups are populated by discovery rules that are located in each client management pack. If you receive an error message when you try to view the properties of a computer group, ensure that you installed the management pack that contains the discovery rules for the computer group.

The following table lists the management pack that contains the discovery rules for each computer group.
