Adding multiple clients to static groups in ERAC 5

[flashback 0]

Does anyone know if there's a way to add multiple clients to static groups in ERAC 5? I read some KB articles and forum topics, but haven't really found an answer. The clients have different names and systems installed on them, so not really many options to include them in parametric groups.

 

Thanks

In the group manager, you can create a static group and manually select clients that will become members of the group.

Yes, but what if you need 100 clients to be added there for example? It would be quite time consuming to do it manually. Maybe there's a way to import a list of clients and then add them to a group?

I couldn't find such option in ERA v5 but with ERA v6 it's possible to import a list of computers from a csv file:

Ok, so that was added in the newer version. Thanks for the information.

There is import (XML) option for static group in ERA V5.

 

Import group with computers. Here is example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ESET>
 <RA>
  <EXPORT SERVERVERSION="5000002">
   <STATICGROUPS>
    <GROUP NAME="StaticGroupName/" DESCRIPTION="">
     <CLIENT PRIMARYSERVER="Servername01" COMPUTERNAME="Computername01" MACADDRESS="000000111111" />
     <CLIENT PRIMARYSERVER="Servername01" COMPUTERNAME="Computername02" MACADDRESS="aaaaaa222222" />
    </GROUP>
   </STATICGROUPS>
  </EXPORT>
 </RA>
</ESET>
