My AD admin is reluctant to create OUs to logically group computers but has created security groups. I do not see security groups as an option for creating a rule for dynamic inclusion. I see OU and some other items to match on but none seem to be the security group objects that we have. My question is, Must I use an OU ? or are there other logical containers in AD that SCOM can leverage for dynamic computer group inclusion. Thank you
