6.1. System and User Groups

Top  Previous  Next

System Groups

At the installation of the program so-called preinstalled (system) groups are created.

Dr.Web ESS has an initial set of system groups. These groups are created during the installation of Enterprise  Server and may not be deleted. Still the administrator may disable their display, if necessary.

Each system group except Everyone contains a set of feature-packed subgroups.

Everyone group

Group containing all stations known to Enterprise Server. The Everyone group has default settings.

Status

Status group contains subgroups reflect the current status of the station, that is if it is connected to the Server or not at the moment. These groups are completely virtual, may not have any settings or be primary groups.

◆Deinstalled group. Once Enterprise Agent software has been deinstalled from a station, the station is transferred to the Deinstalled group.

◆Deleted group. Contains stations, which were deleted by an administrator from the Server. Such stations can be restored (see p. Removing and Restoring Stations).

◆Offline group. Contains all workstations not connected at the moment.

◆Online group. Contains all workstations connected at the moment (reacting to Server requests).

Operating system

This category of groups represents the operating systems under which the stations are working at the moment. These groups are not virtual, may have station settings and be primary groups.

◆Android family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of Android OS for mobile devices.

◆Mac OS Х family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of Mac OS Х operating system.

◆Netware group. This group contains stations, that operate under Novell NetWare OS.

◆UNIX family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to OS of UNIX system-based systems, for example, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.

◆Windows family groups. This family includes a set of groups, that correspond to specific version of Windows operating system.

◆Windows CE group. This group contains stations, that operate under Windows Mobile OS for mobile devices.

Transport

The following groups elicit the protocol of workstations connection to the Server. These groups are completely virtual, may not have any settings or be primary groups.

◆TCP/IP group. The group contains workstations connected at the moment through the TCP/IP protocol.

◆IPX group. The group contains workstations connected at the moment through the IPX protocol.

◆NetBIOS group. The group contains workstations connected at the moment through the NetBIOS protocol.

Ungrouped

This group contains stations, which are not included in any of user groups.

User Groups

These groups are assigned by the anti-virus network administrator for his/her own needs. The administrator may create own groups and include workstations in them. The contents and names of such groups are not restricted by Dr.Web Enterprise in any manner.

In the table bellow, all possible groups and group types are given for your reference, along with the specific parameters supported (+) or not supported (–) by the groups.

The following parameters are considered:

◆Automatic membership. The parameter reflects whether stations may be automatically included in the group (automatic membership support) and group contents automatically adjusted during Server operation.

◆Membership administration. The parameter reflects whether the administrator can manage group membership: add stations to or remove from the group.

◆Primary group. The parameter reflects whether the group can be primary for a station.

◆Possibility to have own settings. The parameter reflects whether the group can have own settings of anti-virus components (to be propagated to its stations).
