Create dynamic group for clients not responding

[pronto 6]

Servus Community,

yesterday, during a short introduction to ESET Security Management Center 7.x, we created a server task that releases the license for clients that have not responded for more than 60 days and removes the client from the configuration. Unfortunately, I can only specify a single group in the task settings, where the task searches for such clients. We don't want to use the All group because we fear a lot of false positives.

Now we had the idea to create a dynamic group and then set it as group in the server task. But we weren't shown how that works. The question is whether the idea makes sense and how to create such a dynamic group.

Thanks in advance & Bye Tom

Unfortunately this is not possible. Dynamic groups as designed are evaluated on client machines. When client is not connecting/running, ESMC won't be notified of client's DG group membership.

Servus Community,

we solved the issue with creating a static parent group and moved all user defined groups into this parent group. We are now able to configure the parent group in the server task. It could be that easy... 😉

Thx & Bye Tom
