Question 21 - D-OME-OE-A-24 discussion

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.

This information is based on the functionalities provided by Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise, as outlined in the official documentation. It is always recommended to refer to the latest OpenManage Enterprise documentation for the most current features and procedures.
