Add systems to the System Tree

ePO - On-prem uses Agent to communicate with the security products. To deploy Agent initially, you must add systems manually to the System Tree.

ePO - On-prem server must be connected to the target systems with local administrator access.

Use ping commands to test the ability to successfully resolve and connect from the ePO - On-prem server to managed systems.
To confirm the Admin$ share folder on Windows target systems is accessible from the ePO - On-prem server, click Windows Start → Run, then type the path to the target system's Admin$ share, specifying system name or IP address. For example, type \\<System Name>\Admin$.
If the systems are properly connected over the network, if your credentials have sufficient rights, and if the Admin$ share folder is present, a Windows Explorer dialog box appears.
Select Menu → Systems → System Tree, then click New Systems on the System Tree page.
From the New Systems page, click Push agents and add systems to the current group and Browse.
From the NT Domain Credentials dialog box, type this information and click OK.
- Domain — Type the domain name with your target systems. Use a period (".") to represent a local (non-domain) account.
- User Name — Type your user name.
- Password — Type your password.
On the Browse for Systems page, select the domain server from the Domain list.
Select the systems or groups of systems to add to the System Tree, then click OK.
The systems you selected appear in the Target Systems field, separated by commas.
In Agent Version, select Windows or Non-Windows and the version from the list.
In Credentials for agent installation:
- Type the domain name.
- Type your domain user name.
- Type the domain password.
- Select the Remember my credentials for future deployments checkbox.
Use the defaults for the final settings and click OK.

After Agent successfully establishes communication with ePO the status is set to Managed State. Now you can deploy other Trellix software products on those managed system through ePO. The systems you selected are added to the System Tree and appear as Unmanaged in the Managed State column. This process can take several hours to complete.
