Changing the Group Locally After Installation

1. Open System Preferences 
2. Open the monitoring client PreferencePane* 
3. Click the "Operation" tab.
4. Change the name in the "Group" field.
   ^{NOTE: Entering the name of a Client Group that doesn't exist will create a new Client Group on the server.}

The change will be reflected on the server during the agent's next check in.

The following command will adjust the Client Group value when used with administrator privileges.

defaults write /Library/MonitoringClient/ClientSettings ClientGroup -string "New_Group_Name"

This is also suitable for use with Apple Remote Desktop, a script in Casper, a saved command in your Bomgar Rep Console, etc.

The bundle version of our Monitoring Client installer contains a ClientGroup.txt file. During installation or reinstallation, the contents of the first line of this file are used to set the desired Client Group name. See this article for more info.
