DTS automatically adds the DTS agents and managers to the Management Database (MDB) as they send a notification message to the TOS when they start. This process is called Self Discovery. By default, all agents and managers are configured to notify the TOS when they start, for example, after a restart or after a new computer starts for the first time. Also, agents notify the TOS when their addresses change, which is most common with roaming agents, like laptop computers or agents that use a DHCP address. The TOS passes the message to the NOS.
When the NOS receives a notification message from an agent or manager (either directly or forwarded by the TOS), the NOS checks the MDB to see if that agent or manager is already in the repository. If not, the NOS adds the agent or manager to the repository.
Self Discovery is disabled by default in Client Automation. To enable this process, change the value of the Self discovery configuration policy in the Network Object Server (NOS) policy group.
