name already exists. The group name must be unique.

ArgumentNullException

name cannot be null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

name contains characters that are not valid.

InvalidOperationException

Unable to return the newly created IComputerTargetGroup. For example, you cannot create a computer target group if the server is a replica WSUS server (if IsReplicaServer is true).

Remarks

You use target groups to logically group and manage client computers on the server. By default, there are two groups, All Computers and Unassigned Computers. All clients belong to the All Computers group. A client can also belong to one other group.

If TargetingMode is Server, you can use AddComputerTarget to add clients to the group. Otherwise, clients can add themselves to the group.
