Setting the Management Server to not automatically manage new Standard Agents

After you install a Standard Agent, the Management Server discovers the Standard Agent and automatically manages it. However, you might want to install a Standard Agent, but defer the Management Server's management to a later date. For example, you might have a standard system image policy or you might need to take advantage of an available installation window.

You can configure the Management Server to detect new Standard Agents, but not automatically manage those hosts. In this configuration, the Management Server does not collect any data from the Standard Agent. CommandCentral identifies these Standard Agents as Unmanaged.

When you are ready for the Management Server to manage an unmanaged host, you can refresh the Standard Agent in the Console.

Note:

This feature applies only to new Standard Agents that the Management Server discovers. This feature does not affect any Standard Agents that the Management Server already discovers.

Note:

This feature does not mean that you can install a Standard Agent without network access to a Management Server. When you install a Standard Agent, it must have network access to a Management Server.
