Note: The OU/Containers tab and Groups tab only display if the Directory Services feature set is enabled. Policies for contacts are configured using the OU/Containers tab.
Use this tab to specify which domain machines you want to install a Kaseya agent on.
Each OU/container in this tab is identified by its canonical name. A canonical name provides the complete hierarchy of OUs/containers used to locate folders and items—such as computers, contacts or groups—in a domain, similar in format to the full path name of a file in a disk directory.
Additional columns show counts for the computers and contacts selected and available in each OU/container.
Select an OU/container that shows a count for one or more computers.
Note: Sort this tab by clicking the Sort Descending option in the Total Computers column heading. This ensures any OU/containers with computer counts greater than zero are listed first.
Select the Computers Policy button.
The dialog box lists all the available computers of the OU/container you can include in selected policies.
Entering a checkbox next to a computer in this dialog means you want to install an agent on that domain computer.
If the Automatically install Agents when computer is discovered checkbox in the Agent Deployment tab is checked, then agents will be installed automatically to selected computers of this OU/container as soon as the domain computers are rebooted. If this same checkbox is not checked, you must deploy agents manually by selecting the machine ID template account created for a domain computer in the Computers page, then clicking the Deploy Agent button on the same page. The domain computer must still be rebooted to complete the agent installation.
Optionally checking the Automatically assign portal access to portal candidates means you also want to designate these computers as portal candidate machines.
Optionally checking the Include new Computers checkbox means you want to include new computers added to this OU/container. They will be assigned the same Discovery policy you have previously configured for selected computers in this OU/container.
Check one or more computers in the list and click Save.
The dialog closes and the count in the Selected Computers column is updated with the number of machines included in the computer policy you just set.
The Probe Status displays Activated and the Computers/Contacts Status displays Modified because the policy changes just made have not yet been applied.
Note: You do not need to Apply Changes until all Policies tabs have been configured. Clicking the Apply Changes button on any tab applies Discovery policy changes for all tabs at the same time.
