The way groups are populated depends on the type of group and the rules that determine its members. For example, members of a query group are those computers that satisfy the query criteria.
After you have created a computer group, you must populate it with the desired computers. The type of computer group you are populating will determine how you gather a list of computers that you can add to the group.
To populate groups with computers:
Right-click the configuration and Open to Manage.
Expand Groups to display the group you wish to populate.
Select the group name, then right click the name and choose Reports.
