The web interface can be used to manage large numbers of client computers. You do this by creating groups of computers and then assigning scripts to run on those groups. To start click on the 'Deploy' menu item.



This screen will show you a list of groups. There are two automatically maintained groups. One is the '<Local Computer>' group and the other is the '<All Computers>'

You can create a new group by clicking on the 'New Group' link or manage an existing group using the 'C', 'S', and 'R' links next to the group name. 'C' will let you add and remove computers from the group, 'S' will let you assign and remove scripts from the group, and 'R' will remove the group. The 'Manager Computers' link will show you a list of all known computers and let you remove them if they are not used any more. The computers will automatically show up in the list if Easy Automation is installed on them and they are pointed at this script server. The first time the computer checks in with the script server, its information will be added to the list.

Computers running Easy Automation will ask a script sever for any scripts they need to run. You can control how often they ask using the 'Server Check Rate' setting. That second controls how often in seconds that the client computers will ask the server for scripts. If a script is assigned to a group that a client computer belongs to then the client computer will download that script (and if it is set to run at start up it will run it). If a script is removed from a group then the script will be stopped on client computers and removed.
