You can register additional ePO - On-prem servers for use with your main ePO - On-prem server to collect or aggregate data, or to allow you to transfer managed systems between the registered servers.
To register one ePO - On-prem server with another, you need to know detailed information about the ePO - On-prem server SQL database of the server you are registering. You can use the following remote command to determine the Microsoft SQL database server name, database name, and more:
https://<server_name>:<port>/core/config
These are the variables in the remote command:
<server_name>— The DNS server name or IP address of the remote ePO - On-prem server<port>— The assigned ePO - On-prem server port number, usually "8443", unless your server is configured to use a different port number

Select Menu → Configuration → Registered Servers and click New Server.
From the Server type menu on the Description page, select ePO, specify a unique name and any notes, then click Next.

If you register a server with a different ePO - On-prem version, this information-only warning appears:
Warning Version mismatch!Transfer systems
Specifies whether to enable or disable the ability to transfer systems for this server. When enabled, select Automatic sitelist import or Manual sitelist import.
Note
When choosing Manual sitelist import, it is possible to cause older versions of Trellix Agent (version 4.0 and earlier) to be unable to contact their Agent Handler. This can happen when:
Transferring systems from this ePO - On-prem server to the registered ePO - On-prem server
An Agent Handler name appears alpha-numerically earlier than the ePO - On-prem server name in the supplied sitelist
Older agents use that Agent Handler

Optionally choose to use NT LAN Manager authentication protocol. Select this option when the server you are registering uses this protocol.
