About
Symantec Endpoint Encryption
Managed Computers groups

Native policies are assigned to individual computers, subgroups, or the groups that are located within the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Managed Computers
container.
Before you can assign native policies to your managed computers, the computers need to be organized into groups. This task can be done from any Manager Computer. The group structure is saved in the Symantec Endpoint Encryption database and is available to all other Manager Computers.
The
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Managed Computers
container has two default groups:
SEE Unassigned
and
Deleted Computers
.
Computers in the
SEE Unassigned
group do not have policies assigned to them. These computers enforce their installation settings.
Computers are placed in the
SEE Unassigned
group if:
  • Synchronization with a computer's directory service is not enabled.
  • The computer does not reside within the Active Directory forest or domain with which you synchronize.
Client computers appear in the
SEE Unassigned
group at the time that a computer checks in. However, if you manually delete a computer from the Active Directory domain, it does not appear in the
SEE Unassigned
group. It appears in the
SEE Unassigned
group at the time of the next synchronization.
When you uninstall the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption
client software from a computer, the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Managed Computers
container continues to list the inactive computer.
When you delete a native client computer from the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Managed Computers
container, the computer is moved to the
Deleted Computers
container.
Later, if you install the client software on that computer again without modifying its computer name, a duplicate computer entry appears in the
Managed Computer Group
s container. Refer to the
Last Check-In Date
column to identify the original, inactive computer and delete it.
To delete a native client computer from the
Symantec Endpoint Encryption Managed Computers
container, right-click the computer and select
Delete
.
To restore a deleted native client computer to its original managed computer group, click the
Deleted Computers
container, right-click the computer, and select
Restore
.
To move a native client computer to a different managed computer group, right-click the computer, select
Change Group
, and then navigate to and select the destination group.
