Issues: I need dynamic groups for windows computers based on platform to use for software deployment.

Solution: Download the unsealed MP SystemCenter.Essentials.PlatformBasedComputerGroups.xml from http://sce.editme.com/files/Menu/SystemCenter.Essentials.PlatformBasedComputerGroups.xml by right clicking and chosing "save target as".  Import this MP to SCE for the following monitoring groups:

X86 Windows Computers

X86 Windows Servers

X86 WIndows Clients

X64 Windows Computers

X64 Windows Servers

X64 Windows Clients

To use one of these groups as a deployment group for software, go to the computers space and chose "Create New Group".  Select the option to "Select Computers From A Managed Computer Group" and chose the desired dynamic group name.  Chose the OK button to finish.  This group will now be available for software distribution or updates purposes.

 *NOTE:  This management pack only supports released versions of windows.  Windows 2008 betas and Vista Sp1 pre-release versions may not work as expected.

Issues: I am missing the All computers group after my SCE installation is completed.

Solution: You need to run LinkAllComputers.exe which will fix the problem. Please copy the tool to the SCE installation directory ( default SCE install directory %ProgramFiles%\System Center Essentials 2007) and run it. Once you run the tool it should fix the issue.

You can download LinkAllComputers.exe from http://sce.editme.com/_Attachments?page=Menu.
