Automatic computer discovery
On the Administrator Account page, shown in Figure 2-3, select whether to use the
Management Server Action Account, or a specific Active Directory user account that
has the necessary privileges to install the agent on a managed computer. In most
cases, this account will need to either be directly or indirectly a member of the local
Administrators group on the target computer. When you click Discover, Operations
Manager will query Active Directory for computer accounts. Depending on the num-
ber of objects within Active Directory, this might take some time.
