Agent Manager Properties, Managed Computer Rules Tab

Allows you to view, create, and modify the Managed Computer rules associated with an Agent Manager. The Managed Computer rules define the Managed Computers list of an Agent Manager. Before Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 will install an agent on a computer, the computer must be included in the Managed Computers list of an Agent Manager and the computer must match a computer grouping rule. The columns are defined as follows:

Domain
Specifies the domain to which the computer must belong for the computer to match the Managed Computer rule.
Computer
Specifies the criteria for the computer to match the Managed Computer rule.
Type
Specifies the type of computer that matches the Managed Computer rule. Examples are workstation, server, primary domain controller (PDC), or backup domain controller (BDC).
Include
Specifies whether this Managed Computer rule is an include rule (Yes) or an exclude rule (No). To be included in the Managed Computers list of an Agent Manager, the computer must match an include rule, and not match an exclude rule.
