4. In the Available Target Devices tree view, select the node that displays the devices
that you are combining as a deployment group.
5. In the right-hand pane, select the devices that you are combining as a deployment
group.
To select multiple devices, you can drag through the devices, use Ctrl + Click,
or use Shift + Click.
6. Click OK .
The devices appear in the Deployment Groups tree view under the deployment group.
Before you perform a software deployment, you must check software on the devices
that will be receiving new software. If you have already added packages to the group,
on the Deployment Groups tab you will also see deployment tasks generated for every
device with roles that match the package contents.
Uninstall software
For some devices, software that you installed manually—before your first use of
SiteConfig to deploy software to the device—can be problematic. If the software
installation program doesn't communicate with SiteConfig or if the installation program
embeds dependencies that SiteConfig does not expect, unexpected results can occur
when you first deploy software using SiteConfig.
To avoid problems uninstall the following software from your devices:
• Aurora Suite
• NewsShare
• SmartBins
• AuroraFTP
