Add Multiple HostGroups all at once

hello team,
Is there any way to add HostGroups utilizing something similar to bulk load function for Hosts (Bulk Host Cloning and Import)?
I do have at around 800+ locations (HostGroups) where each one will have X#s of windows Host machine to monitor.

Thank you

Well, there is currently no way to load a hostgroup and then hand select what hosts you want to carry over like you can do with the Cloning wizard. You could however, clone a hostgroup in the CCM and then shift the hosts around. You could alternatively script a solution to build configuration files, then import them back into XI.
