→‎Configuring Host Groups
In the previous section a host was added to the ''All Hosts'' group of the VMM Administrator Console. In addition to the ''All Hosts'' group, other groups may be created and existing groups removed to aid in the administration of large and complex virtualization deployments.
TO Host groups are configured hierarchically, with the ''All Hosts'' group at the to top of the tree and other sub-groups nested beneath it. Each sub-group may, in turn, have its own sub-groups allowing multiple layers of group nesting. For example, ''All Hosts'' may have a sub-group for all hosts located in California. The California sub-group may then be configured to have sub-groups of its own for each city in which hosts are located (San Jose, Palo Alto, San Francisco etc).  To add a new host group, ensure that the VMM Administrator Console is displaying the ''Hosts'' view, right click on the ''All Hosts'' item in the ''Hosts'' pane in the top left hand corner of the window and select ''New host group'' from the menu. A new host group entry will appear with with the default name ''New host group'' highlighted. Enter a new name and press enter to complete the creation process.
To remove an existing group, right click on the group name in the Hosts pane and select ''Remove'' from the popup menu. To move a host from one group to another, select the host from the list of hosts and click on the ''Move to host group'' link in the ''Actions'' pane. Navigate through the tree of host groups to find the target group and click ''OK'' to make the move. Similarly, to add an existing host to a group, select the host group from the list, click on ''Add host'' from the Actions pane and use the wizard as described above to complete the process.
