Especially in larger networks, companies often split up Active Directory entities by creating multiple Organizational Units. A machine group in Shavlik HFNetChkPro 4 can be configured that includes specific organization units from Active Directory.

The first and quickest way to add an organizational

If you select a parent OU, all children OUs will be included in the scan.
