Select the Computers To Be Managed

CA SRM's Discovery feature searches your network for computers in the selected domain running the Windows operating system. When the process completes, CA SRM lists all eligible computers in the Candidates table of the Selecting Computers to be Managed dialog:

To select a computer for registration, highlight the computer in the Candidates table and click the right arrow . The computer moves to the To Be Managed table.

To remove a computer from the To Be Managed table, click the left arrows .

When you have added all the computers that you want to the To Be Managed table, click Next.

In addition, please note the following:

• When using the Windows Client on Vista to register Windows hosts, CA SRM may fail to discover any candidate hosts if the domain contains a large number of machines. This is due to a problem with the implementation of the "net view" command on Windows Vista. If this happens, you need to add each host manually. You can check for this problem by issuing the following command on the problem domain:

  net view /D:<domain-name>
  

  If this command fails, CA SRM cannot discover machines in the domain, and you must add them manually.

• The Discovery process may take a few moments to complete. How quickly CA SRM detects all computers in the selected domain depends on the size of the domain and the speed of your connection.
• If there is a computer that you want to add to the CA SRM database, but which is not listed in the Candidates table, you can add it manually in the next step.
