Moving agents from a manager by dragging and dropping the source manager

You can move the agents from a manager by dragging and dropping the manager that contains the agents that you want to move.

Note:

You must have the Create all domains right if you want to move an agent to a newly created domain.

To move an agent from a manager by using the drag-and-drop functionality

  1. Select the manager that contains the agents that you want to move and drag and drop it on the target manager. The target manager must be connected to the console.

  2. In the Move agent(s) dialog box, select the agents that you want to move from the Available Agent(s) list box.

    You can select one, multiple, or all agents from the Available Agent(s) list box. To select multiple agents, press the Ctrl key while you select each agent. To select all the agents that are listed in the Available Agent(s) list box, select the first agent, press the Shift key and then select the last agent in the list box.

  3. Click >> to add the selected agents to the Selected Agent(s) list box.

  4. Click Next.

  5. In the Move Agent(s) from dialog box, the Manager Name drop-down list in the Target Manager section displays the IP address of the target manager.

  6. In the Account Information section, check Use Credentials Of The Source Manager if you want to use the same credentials to access the new manager.

    When you check Use Credentials Of The Source Manager, the Access Name and the Password fields become unavailable.

  7. If you do not want to use the same credentials for the new manager as that of the source manager, then do the following:

    • In the Access Name text box, type the username that you want to use to access the new manager.

    • In the Password text box, type the password that you want to use to authenticate your username.

  8. In the Domain Name on the Target Manager section, do one of the following:

    • Click Create New Domain if you want to create a new domain for the agent that you want to move.

      In the Domain Name text box, type a name for the new domain.

    • Click Use Existing Domain if you want to use the existing domain name.

  9. Check Delete Raw Reports from the Source Manager if you want to remove the existing reports of the selected agent.

  10. Click Finish.

    The Moving Agent(s) dialog box displays names of the source manager and the target manager. The Moving Agent(s) dialog box also displays the progress of agent registration. Click Cancel if you want to cancel the agent registration or click Done when the registration is complete.
