That is probably better than the approach I'm currently taking, but it still is painful given the number of computers we have.

The problem is: the group we're moving from has over 5000 computers in it.  Finding the computers in the list of 5000 is a herculean task.  I can set my display filter to show 1000 computers at a time and sort by computer name, but get this - when you do a sort, Symantec only sorts the list is currently showing.  It doesn't sort the full list, then show the first 1000, second 1000, etc.   So, if you're looking for a machine named AAAAA, it might be in the first page, but if it isn't, you have to go to the second page, sort, see if it is there, if not, go to the 3rd page, etc.

Do you have computer names or IP's? What kind of numbers are you talking?

 Are you seperating these clients based on IP address or OUs
for the first Run sylinkreplacer and give the range of IP address and point ot sylink.xml file of the group to which you want to move ..it will automatically search for computers in this range and replace the sylink on them hence it will move ot that group.

If you are using the 2nd option then the best way would be to do it via AD integration.

No option for this u have to short in that manner only. Select the entire page at one time and then the next page

The Sylinkreplacer option is where I was headed also. If you have IP's or hostnames, you can import those into a text file and have the sylinkreplacer use that text file and the sylink.xml file of the new group that you want to drop them into. If you have a very large number of machines to move, you may want to break it up into managable groups because the utility bombs fairly often.

When a client comes back to the SEPM, it will take the new settings immediately.  So I would suggest moving the clients from SEPM should work better.

so - is there a way to script to SEPM?

RIght click on the clients and click on move is the solution I was talking about.

A good while back a Symantec employee did post some scripts that will help with automation using scripts. I tried to find the article but failed. I still have the file that I downloaded, but maybe someone else remembers this post also and can help locate it.
There does appear to be a Moveclient function, this is a small portion of the help file that came with the download:

moveclient
public boolean moveclient(com.sygate.scm.console.logicobject.ClientObject clientobject,
com.sygate.scm.console.logicobject.GroupObject groupobject)Function moveclient() move client in the current domain provided by connect method.

Parameters:
clientobject - client to remove returned by get_client function
groupobject - destination group object
Returns:
true if moveclient is sucessfull
Since:
1.4

This file is under 2MB, so if you want I could email it to you if you were to PM me.

-Click on the group from where ou want to move the clients.
-Under Tasks click on "Set Dispaly Filter" and the set the value so that all the clients can come up in a single page.
-After all the clients are on the same page click on one client prese CTRL+ A that will select all the cllients.
-Under Tasks click on " Move Clients" and select the group that you want.

Hope this will work for you.

Set Dispaly Filter to 5000 , then choose the client that you want to move on their particular group hold the ctrl then click each clients
