How to Approve an Operations Manager 2007 Agent Installed for a Management Group Using MOMAgent.msi

Use the following procedure to approve an Operations Manager 2007 agent installed for a Management Group with MOMAgent.msi. This procedure is not needed if the Management Group has been configured to automatically approve manually installed agents. For information about how to configure a Management Group to automatically approve manually installed agents, see How to Configure Security for Manual Agent Installs Setting for an Operations Manager 2007 Management Group.

Important

A Management Group must be configured to accept agents installed with MOMAgent.msi or they will be automatically rejected and therefore not display in the Operations Console. For more information, see How to Configure Security for Manual Agent Installs Setting for an Operations Manager 2007 Management Group. If a Management Group is configured to accept manually installed agents after the agents have been manually installed, the agents will display in the console after approximately one hour.

To approve an Operations Manager 2007 agent installed for a Management Group with MOMAgent.msi

  1. In the Operations Console, click the Administration button.

  2. Click Administration, expand Administration, expand Device Management, and then click Pending Management.

  3. In the Pending Management pane, select computers in Type: Manual Agent Install.

  4. Right-click the computers, and then click Approve.

  5. In the Manual Agent Install dialog box, click Approve. The computers now display in the Agent Managed node and are ready to be managed.

    Rejected agents remain in Pending Management until the agent is uninstalled for the Management Group.
