What is Windows Systems Group?

A Windows Systems Group is a group of multiple Windows-based computers that are organized and managed together in a networked environment as individual systems. Administrators group the Windows systems located in different countries, regions and cities to offer uninterrupted services to users across the globe. The Windows Systems Groups are widely used in businesses, organizations, and IT infrastructures to achieve the following:

• Centralized user authentication, management and security controls.

• Improved security by enforcing policies, access control, and software restrictions among all the systems from a central location.

• Efficient system resource sharing among all applications and services on the systems.

• Easy addition or removal of systems from a network.

• High availability, fault tolerance, better disaster recovery and load balancing to ensure system reliability in case of failures.

Why Monitor the Windows Systems Group?

In environments where multiple Windows systems are grouped by region, department, or other criteria, administrators prefer monitoring them as a group rather than individual systems. Monitoring individual systems manually is time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. To address this, eG Enterprise offers a specialized monitoring model for Windows systems groups. This model provides centralized monitoring and allows administrators to install a lightweight eG VM agent on each Windows system. This agent proactively captures health and availability, resource utilization, and network bottlenecks, enabling administrators to take prompt remedial actions. Additionally, it helps administrators quickly analyze the overall performance of each system within the group.
