Groups can be used to group computers or users together.
BCX deployment tasks can be assigned to a group of users or stations.

To create a group click 'Add New' and then 'Group'.



You name your group with an administrative name.
Eg: Science



Group Type
By default any groups created will be global security groups, which allow you to set permissions based on this group on files and folders.
If you would like to use an existing group for email purposes you can choose to convert the group to either an Exchange, or 365 based group.



Under the Group Email Addresses tab there are options to mail-enable the group in Office 365 to allow for distribution emails to all group members.

The display name is how the group will be presented in the address book.
The email address will be the global address for all members Eg: science@school.sch.uk
Multiple additional group e-mail addresses can also be managed from the Group Email Addresses tab.



Group Members
To add members to the group, click 'Add Group Members'



Select the users you want to add to the group from the list, using the control key to select individual users, or the shift key to select a large portion of users.



Clicking the 'Show all Active Directory Object' will show users that aren't under the BCX users root OU, and computer objects too.
