In the Management Mode list, click Agentless and then click Next. Click Change , select the proxy agent that you want to use, click OK , and then click Next.
If a different Agent installation directory is specified, the root of the path must exist on the targeted computer or the agent installation fails. The Agent Action Account is the default account that the agent will use to perform actions.

If the task fails for a computer, click the targeted computer. The reason for the failure is displayed in the Task Output text box. Click Close. The computers will be listed in the Administration workspace in Agentless Managed. When you set up agentless monitoring of a computer, you select a proxy for each agentless-managed computer.
Being configured as a proxy agent allows an agent to submit data on behalf of another source. A management group can serve as a proxy, but this takes up system resources.
A best practice is using an agent-managed computer as a proxy agent. You might also configure a computer to act as a proxy to support specific features of a management pack. For example, the Active Directory Management Pack requires enabling domain controllers to act as proxy agents. Both the agentless-managed system and its proxy need to have access to the managing server through any firewalls.
For more information about interacting with firewalls, see Configuring a firewall for Operations Manager. In the Administration workspace, click Agent Managed , right-click the computer, and then click Properties. On the Security tab, select Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers , and then click OK.
In the Administration workspace, click Management Servers , right-click the management server, and then click Properties. In the Management Server Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. On the Security tab, select Allow this server to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers, and then click OK.
Log on to the computer with an account that is a member of the Operations Manager Administrators role for the management group. In the Agentless Managed pane, select the agentless-managed computers for which you want to change the proxy agent, right-click them, and then select Change Proxy Agent. In the Change Proxy Agent dialog box, select the computer you want to be the new proxy agent, and then click OK. Monitoring of applications, features, and services are enabled by importing management packs.

Given below is a list of IT infrastructure components that are recommended to be monitored in an agentless manner:. Administrators can choose which parts of the infrastructure they want to monitor agentlessly, and which components to monitor using agents. Agentless monitoring is recommended for network devices and storage devices, as well as for virtualization and virtual desktop monitoring where strong APIs are supported by the underlying platforms.
For application servers running on legacy operating systems like Windows and Linux, agent-based monitoring is usually preferred. View supported platforms and technologies ».

Software installation is required only on the remote data collector. Agent deployment is required on each server. Security The remote data collector must be allowed to communicate with the target system on different ports.
The data collector may also need to be installed with domain administration privileges in order to access the remote systems. Much more secure than agentless monitoring.
