To Install Agent on Windows in Microsoft System Center, you may have many options. In this article, we will show you how use the Operations console to search your environment for manageable objects and then push an agent to any object that you want to monitor.

b. In the Computer and Device Classes list, you have 3 options: Servers and Clients, Servers Only, or Clients Only.
In the Management Server list, click the management server or gateway server to discover the computers.
If you selected Servers and Clients, you can select the Verify discovered computers can be contacted check box. This is likely to increase the success rate of agent deployment, but discovery can take longer.
Note: If the Active Directory catalog does not contain the NetBIOS names for computers in a domain, select Verify discovered computers can be contacted. Otherwise, the Browse, or Type In option fails to find computers. This affects computers in the same domain as the management server, in another domain with a full trust relationship, and in untrusted domains by using a gateway server.
c. Click Next.
Note: The wizard can return approximately 4000 computers if Verify discovered computers can be contacted is selected, and it can return 10,000 computers if this option is not selected. Automatic computer discovery verifies that discovered computers can be contacted. A computer that is already managed by the management group is not returned.

Leave the Agent installation directory set to the default of %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Monitoring Agent or type an installation path.
Note: If a different Agent installation directory is specified, the root of the path must exist on the targeted computer or the agent installation fails. Subdirectories, such as \Agent, are created if they do not exist.
