Setting Discovery Policies

Once a probe is installed, Discovery is configured by setting selected domain folders and items to included or excluded. Discovery policies provide IT automation—such as installing agents or creating users—only for included folders and items. Discovery only harvests detailed information for included folders and items, minimizing the amount of data required to maintain synchronization with the domain.

Discovery policies can be set for three types of domain objects:

• Setting Discovery Policies for Computers
• Setting Discovery Policies for Contacts
• Setting Discovery Policies for Users
