Virtual machine (VM) management using a group name. By associating VM reg istration information with a group name, all VMs running off a single physic al machine image can be managed (e.g., blocked or unblocked) simultaneously. A service component captures registration information (e.g., IP address-VM name pair) between a virtual machine and a name server. The IP address-VM na me pair is recorded (or stored) in the name server database. Based on the VM pair, a record component generates a group name, and stores the VM pair in association with the group name in the name server database. Blocking of the group name then blocks all VMs associated with the group name. Moreover, qu eries against the group name will then expose all operational VMs for that h ost. Updates to the group name record can be made based on registration and deregistration of VMs for a given host machine.
