In OpenManage Enterprise, custom groups can be created to organize devices based on various

criteria. For a list of devices that update automatically based on specific properties of discovered

systems, the appropriate type of custom group to use is a Dynamic group.

Here’s a detailed explanation:

Static Groups: These groups are manually created and managed. Devices must be manually added or

removed, and the group does not update based on changes to device properties.

Dynamic Groups: These groups are automatically updated based on predefined criteria or properties.

When a device meets the criteria, it is automatically included in the group, and if it no longer meets

the criteria, it is removed.

Discovery Groups: These are typically used for organizing devices based on the method of discovery

or during the initial discovery phase.

Query Groups: While these groups can be based on specific queries, they are not automatically

updated like Dynamic groups.

Therefore, for a list of devices that need to update based on specific properties, a Dynamic group is

the recommended choice as it ensures the group membership remains current with the changing

properties of the devices1.

outlined in the official documentation. It is always recommended to refer to the latest OpenManage

Enterprise documentation for the most current features and procedures.
