Overview Information
You can search for names in any of your existing machine groups. This enables you to quickly locate specific machines and machine groups. This is especially useful for determining if a machine belongs to more than one machine group.
To initiate a search, right-click on any machine group in the navigation pane and select Search Machine Groups. The Search Machine Groups dialog is displayed.
In the Search all Machine Groups for this name box, type the alphanumeric characters you want to find. Any machines or machine groups matching the search criteria will be displayed. Here are some tips for using the search tool:
- The search will look for matching characters in all columns except the Type column.
- All partial matches are displayed. For example, if you type Test as your search criteria, any machine with "test" in its name will be considered a match (e.g. TestMachine1, ContestantMachine, etc.).
- The use of wildcards is not allowed.
In addition, you can use the following buttons or right-click menu options to perform the following actions.
