connect to the Self-Service Portal.

Setting Up Virtual Machine Self-Service in VMM Help.
Installing the VMM Agent
When you use the VMM Administrator Console to add a virtual machine host or a library server in a
trusted domain, the VMM server automatically installs a VMM agent on that host or library server using
the default settings.
For a host that is either on a perimeter network or is not joined to a domain that has a trust relationship
with the domain that the VMM server is in, you must install an agent locally on the host before you can
add the host to Virtual Machine Manager.
