Adding and importing actions are available when you select the Machines with agents view or
the All machines with agents group in the navigation tree.
To Do
Add a new machine to the
management server
Click Add a machine to AMS.
In the Add machine (p. 364) window, select the machine that needs to be added
to the management server.
Add multiple machines
Click Add multiple machines.
Specify the machines to add to the management server. This way, you can add
machines running Windows with no agent installed. The agent for Windows will
be installed automatically, using the remote installation functionality.
For details, see the "Specifying the list of machines" section of the installation
documentation.
Synchronize machines with
a list in the text file
Click Synchronize with file.
Specify a text file with the list of machines. After synchronization, only the
machines that are listed in the file remain registered on the management
server. For details, see "Synchronizing machines with a text file" (p. 364).
The management console addresses to the agent and initiates the registration procedure. Because
registration requires the agent's participation, it cannot take place when the machine is offline.
An additional agent installed on a registered machine becomes registered on the same management
server automatically. Multiple agents are jointly registered and deregistered.
Deleting the selected machine from the management server
To Do
Delete a machine from the
management server
Click Delete machine from AMS.
As a result, backup plans are removed and shortcuts to centralized vaults are
deleted from the machine. If the machine is not available at the moment,
these actions will be performed on the machine as soon as the machine
becomes available to the management server.
Grouping actions
To Do
Create a custom static or
dynamic group
Click Create group.
In the Create group (p. 370) window, specify the required parameters of the
group. The new group will be created in the group in which the selected
machine is a member (except for the built-in
All machines with agents
group).
Add a machine to another
static group
Click Add to another group.
In the Add to group (p. 366) window, specify the group to copy the selected
machine to. The centralized backup plans of the groups the machine is a
member of will be deployed to the machine.
For machines in custom groups
