Import File format

Question

I have a question regarding the import file format. We have different groups in Sophos, some of them nested in each other. What format do I need to provide the Group Name in the import file?

For example: I have a group called "Windows7", which has a subgroup called "Firefox_No". How do I specify that structure in the file? If I do the example below, it will create a new Group with that name in the root structure.

[Windows7_Firefox_No]
DT-0128J-ECB

I have tried:

[Windows7|Windows7_Firefox_No]

[Windows7\Windows7_Firefox_No]

[\Windows7\Windows7_Firefox_No]

but none of them worked. Does anyone know how I can specify the path correctly?

Many thanks!!

Hello André,

as far as I can see the Import logic does not move computers.

100 aren't many - what militates against drag and drop? Otherwise the import would move the computers if you delete them from the console. Don't worry, no information is lost - delete just sets a flag, any message from then endpoint resets this flag as does Import (thus if the endpoint send a message after you've deleted it but before you run the import it stay in its group).
