ThinManage 3.1 Administration Manual
An Example of ThinManage Pooling
To help illustrate the pooling concept, consider the following scenario of an administrator wanting to assign the company’s
developers to one group of hosts, while allocating a second group of hosts to the users working in the marketing
department.
Figure 4-C: An Example AD Schema
In Figure 4-C, the administrator has created two User Groups in Active Directory. One is named DevUsers, which
contains the user objects Ian, Ying, and Adam. The second group, MarketingUsers, contains the user objects Ian and
Marcus. In the Computers hierarchy, the administrator has three computer objects (hosts) named blade1, blade2, and
blade3 – with blade1 and blade2 associated to the DevMachines group and blade1 and blade3 associated with the
MarketingMachines group.
An administrator can now use the ThinManage Web GUI to create pools based on the Active Directory schema above.
(See Section, How to a Add Pool, for more details)

Now the administrator has created two pools -- “Development Department” and “Marketing Department” – effectively
associating his development users with the development hosts and marketing users with marketing hosts.
