We start our configurations with Enable Agents.
This view allows you to enable agents in bulk (by client location) and for one or more OS types. Keep in mind that you can disable agents that you do not want to manage using the agent EDFs. You can also enable agent in the same manner, if you only want a handful of agents to be enabled, you can enable agent in the same manner.
When you enable a location, it assumes that onboarding new agents is desired. This means you should expect to see the same OS types selected under the location’s EDFs. If automated onboarding is not desired, navigate to the location console and modify the EDF’s for the Automate Package Manager.
Enabled agents without a policy are passive. This means that you can enable agents without installing or updating them. You may do this to allow an agent to be scanned for currently installed packages and their version numbers without installing any packages or updating installed packages through automation. Enabled agents without a policy have Auto Updates and Auto Installs disabled by default. You can manually enable Auto Installs or Auto Updates under the Agents EDFs without a policy assigned. This will cause agent to attempt updates daily between 12 pm and 2 pm. To control the time and schedule of updates you will need to assign a policy to agent.
