call to all agents in the same subnet; then all client computers retrieve the updated files from the nearest
repository.

other groups or computers, and can be assigned IP address ranges or IP subnet masks to allow sorting
computers by IP address. If you create a group by importing a Windows NT domain, you can automatically
send the agent installation package to all imported computers in the domain.

or dynamic library and thus requiring protection.
