Setting Discovery Policies for Computers

The following Discovery computer policies can be set by OU/container or by individual computer. Setting a policy by computer has precedence over setting a policy by OU/container.

• Automatic deployment of agents on newly discovered machines.
• Manual deployment of agents on selected machines.
• Agent deployment on the system hosting the Active Directory domain.
• Designating all machines or selected machines as portal candidates.

Creating a machine ID account using a Discovery policy also creates a machine group hierarchy for the new machine ID account that reflects the OU/container hierarchy in the domain.

Discovery computer policies are set using the Domains > Domain Watch > Policies > OU/Containers tab or Computers tab.
