Creating a Custom Device Group
Description: The Add-CustomGroup command allows you to create a custom device group in the device tree. If
required, you can add devices to the group after it is created.
NOTE: Using OpenManage Essentials CLI, you can only create static groups which contain a finite list of servers.
You can create dynamic groups based on queries using the OpenManage Essentials console. For more
information, see Creating a New Group.

• PS> Add-CustomGroup –GroupName <groupName>
• PS> Add-CustomGroup –GroupName <groupName> –DeviceList <DeviceList.xml>

of devices>
