[Status after command execution]
When a group is created
After creating a group under the Root directory, the value of terminal initial settings will be set as the user policy.
After creating a group in an existing group, group policy of the parent group will be set.
When a group is updated
Even if the update of group name and moving of group level location exist, the registration information of group policy and department administrator will still be inherited.
When a group is deleted
The information of group policy and department administrator of deleted group will be deleted at the same time.
When the group and the client (CT) created in Systemwalker Desktop Keeper after the import of configuration information exist under the deleted group, this content will be moved to the Root directory.
When no client (CT) exists under the group
Only the group is displayed. Select Do not display empty group from the Tool Settings menu of the Management Console if it is not needed.
About moving of CT
After importing configuration information, the CT will move according to configuration information file.
The CT will not move if there is no data in configuration information (displayed under the Root directory always).
If the CTs of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol and Systemwalker Desktop Keeper installed in the PC are 13.0.0 or later, the clients (CTs) can be moved according to configuration information file.
Create, rename, move and delete a group in the Management Console according to the management information in Systemwalker Desktop Keeper.
The system administrator and department administrators can update, move and delete a user name, set group policy and department administrator (only system administrator is allowed) for the imported group. For the allocation of the department administrator, refer to "2.6 Allocate Department Administrator".
The updating, moving and deleting of group name performed in the Management Console of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper will be invalid after next import of configuration information and will be corrected in the re-imported configuration information.
Registration information of group policy and department administrator will be inherited after it is imported again.
When deleting a group, the correspondent group will be imported again through the next import of configuration information, but since the information of group policy and department administrator has been deleted, the group must be reset.
In addition, system administrator and department administrator can create a new group, update and delete a group in the imported group.
When there is no upper level group at next import of configuration information, the group created in the imported group will be moved to the Root directory.
The same operation as group can be conducted to the client (CT).
When continuing when continuing to import configuration information by linking with Systemwalker Desktop Patrol after the second time and the folders of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol and Systemwalker Desktop Keeper are used at the same time, perform the following operations.
For the group used in Systemwalker Desktop Keeper only, no need to perform the following operations.
Update the change information of the Management Console to Systemwalker Desktop Patrol
Because the updating, moving and deleting of group name performed in Management Console will be invalid after the next import of configuration information, changes performed in "4. Modify configuration information tree as needed" will be updated to Systemwalker Desktop Patrol manually.
Delete the group created in the Management Console of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper. For details on how to delete, refer to "Delete".
Output configuration information in Systemwalker Desktop Patrol and import Systemwalker Desktop Keeper.
To use the configuration information file with changes in Systemwalker Desktop Keeper updated, repeat the steps from "1. Output configuration information in Systemwalker Desktop Patrol" to "4. Modify configuration information tree as needed" before using it.

Install the CT of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper.
When the Management Server communicates with the client (CT), the client (CT) will be displayed under the Root directory.
At this time, the value of terminal initial settings will be set as CT policy in the client (CT).
Execute the Systemwalker Desktop Patrol configuration information import command (for the first time).
The client (CT) is allocated to the tree.
Execute the Systemwalker Desktop Patrol configuration information import command (for the second time and later).
Only the differential information is imported.
Use [Link with Other Systems] of Management Console
This section describes how to import configuration information through the menu of the Management Console.
Note
The method of importing configuration information by using [Link with Other Systems] will be limited.
When importing new configuration information, [Link with Other Systems] of the Management Server can be used for the first import only.
After creating configuration information by using [Link with Other Systems] of the Management Console, the configuration information imported through [Link with Other Systems] will be reserved and the configuration information will be imported again and the group will be created when the Systemwalker Desktop Patrol configuration information import command is used.
This will cause repeated information and difficulties in management; therefore, do not use them in combination.
After importing configuration information by using [Link with Other Systems] of the Management Console for the second time and later, all the original management information (group information, policy, department administrator, etc.) imported through [Link with Other Systems] will be deleted and re-built in the information of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol.
Therefore, group policy and department administrator must be reset after import.
In the case of a 3-level system structure, import configuration information by connecting the Management Console of the Master Management Server. At this time, the Master Management Server and lower level servers will have the same group structure.
When importing configuration information, the client (CT) that satisfies any of the following conditions will be displayed under the Root directory. Other clients (CTs) will be displayed under each group according to configuration information.
The CT version of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper is V12.
Systemwalker Desktop Patrol is not installed in the client (CT).
After importing configuration information, the value of terminal initial settings will be set as group policy. In the case of a 3-level system structure, set the value of terminal initial settings of the Management Server in CT group policy under each Management Server.
In order to match the imported CT group information and CT information, information must be displayed in [DTPID] of the PC as import target in CT list on the Management Console window of Systemwalker Desktop Keeper. (Install Systemwalker Desktop Keeper and Systemwalker Desktop Patrol in the target PC and the information will be imported to [DTPID] after next startup of Windows.)
When there is no information displayed in [DTPID] of the PC as import target, CT group information will not be imported during the import of configuration information of Systemwalker Desktop Patrol. The client (CT) will be registered to the Root directory.
CT group that does not have 1 client (CT) registered will not be imported.
The client (CT) that belong to the "deleted CT" group will not become the link target.
If the group name in Systemwalker Desktop Patrol contains over 40 single-byte (20 fullwidth) characters, the first 40 single-byte (20 fullwidth) characters will be made as the group name to import to Systemwalker Desktop Keeper.
