To manage a network device endpoint or group of endpoints, you must install at least one Windows agent in the domain. Before you begin your network device endpoint deployment, see Deployment Requirements. The requirements and guidelines for Windows agent deployment are equally applicable to network device endpoint deployment.
You can manually add endpoints for your network devices in Secure Configuration Manager, and then manage those network devices using a proxy Windows agent.
Secure Configuration Manager does not allow an endpoint to be monitored by more than one agent. You must use a unique endpoint name when you add a network device endpoint, otherwise an error will occur. You can use Admin Reports to run a report containing every known agent and its associated system and endpoints. To run this report, select Tools > Admin Reports > All Systems, Agents, and Endpoints.
