Creating Machine Groups Based on Microsoft Contracts
If you have Microsoft contracts that apply to specific groups of machines (such as is the case with Select-type contracts), you may need to create these machine groups if they do not already exist as part of your Active Directory. Further, if you have any machines running software licensed through an MSDN subscription, you may want to create a separate group for these as well. The next step in the process is to create the contracts themselves and when doing so, you’ll need to be able to specify the groups of machines to which each contract applies.
