How to interpret the properties of multiple hosts of different operating systems

If the selected hosts are of various operating systems, none of the operating system-specific information appears.

For example, select a Linux client and a Windows 2008 client. Neither the Windows Client properties nor the UNIX Client properties appear in the Host Properties tree. If all the selected hosts are of the same operating system, the corresponding properties node appears.

If the property contains a text field for specifying a value, choose from the following options:

To set the property to the same value for all selected hosts, select the associated check box and type the value in the field.
To leave the property unchanged, clear the associated check box. The field changes to gray.

At any time you can choose from the following options:

Click Default to set all the properties in the current dialog box to the default values.
Click OK to apply all changes since Apply was last clicked. OK also closes the dialog box.
Click Cancel to cancel the changes that were made since the last time changes were applied.
Click Apply to save changes to all of the properties for the selected host(s).

However, to apply changes click OK.
Click Help for information on the properties that appear on the current dialog box.
