Discovery on the Kaseya Server (1) uses a probe agent on a domain computer (2) to communicate with an Active Directory (AD) domain (3). Once connected, the probe "harvests" domain data (4) back to the Kaseya Server.
Agents are deployed to domain machines using a group policy object (GPO) to download the agent install package (5).
VSA users can use their domain credential to logon to the VSA (6).
Portal Access users can use their domain credentials to logon remotely to their machines (7).
The application protocol used to communicate with the domain server is Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
See OU/Container for more information about "organizational units".
The following topics provide a step-by-step procedure for configuring Discovery.
