Static Groups are groups of manually selected and configured clients—their members are static and can only be added/removed manually, not based on dynamic criteria (as opposed to Dynamic Groups, which are arranged automatically based on specific criteria defined in a template). When computers are added to groups, you can assign policies, tasks or settings to these groups. The policy, task or setting is then applied to all the group members.

There are two default Static Groups in the ESET PROTECT Web Console:

• All: This is the main group for all computers in the ESET PROTECT Server network. It is used for applying policies for each computer as a default policy. The group is always displayed and the group name cannot be changed.
• Lost & Found: This is a child group of the All group. When a new computer connects via the ESET Management Agent to the ESET PROTECT Server, it is automatically added to this group.
