When installing several new client PC's (or servers) How do I get the installation to direct them to the group I want them to be in and NOT the default group?

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Say, I have 10 PC's in Los Angeles, and I have a group for LA. I want the Installation to put them DIRECTLY in there instead of ME moving them manually. Is this possible?
Thank you

Yeah
When you create the package..you need to select the group
admin- install packages
you need to check a group ( LA )
export the package
when you install..it should report to that particular group
if you are using find unmanged computer option
then at the bottom u need to change the default group to LA group
P.S: you need create a group inside sepm
right click my company and select add group..create LA group

The current default client installation packages appear on the right.

Looks like each group needs it's own package
As opposed to having one universal package. OK.

Does not work
I have tried, and it keeps going to the default group.
I will block new clients from being added to the default group..
...and see if that makes a difference.
You can give this a try
If you are saying that even after creating different packages you are having this issue
This is wat we did when the same thing happened with MR3
Right Click on Default Group -> Properties
Check the option Block new clients.
Then try to deploy New Clients with the respective package of the group

Once again this was my bad
When I created the package, I left it at the drop down, and did not select the install and feature sets I had previously created to facilitate this. Once I selected this, it worked as it should have. The mistake was made when I went to export the package. Once I selected the right ones, it works fine.
Thank you again.
