Enable a Proxy Agent on a View Connection Server Host or Security Server
You must use the Operations Manager console to enable a proxy agent on each View Connection Server host
or security server that you want to monitor with SCOM. The discovery script can discover a Windows
server only if you enable the proxy agent for the server.
Prerequisites
Complete the procedure described in “Import the View Management Packs on the SCOM Server,” on
page 68.
Procedure
1 In the Operations Manager console, go to Administration\Agent Managed, select the server, and click
Properties.
2 On the Security tab, select the Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on
other computers option.
3 Click OK to save your changes.
Run the Discovery Script in the Operations Manager Console
The discovery script finds systems on which a View server is installed. It probes the registries of Windows
servers for entries that indicate the version of the View software, the type of server, and the name and ID of
the View Connection Server group.
NOTE Running the discovery script manually is optional. The discovery script is scheduled to run
automatically once every hour.
Prerequisites
n
Complete the procedure described in “Import the View Management Packs on the SCOM Server,” on

n
Complete the procedure described in “Enable a Proxy Agent on a View Connection Server Host or
Security Server,” on page 69. The discovery script can discover a Windows server only if you use the
Operations Manager console to enable the proxy agent for the server.
Procedure
1 In the Operations Manager console, go to Monitoring\Windows Computers.
2 Select a computer system and click the VMware View Run Discovery Probe action.
If the discovery script detects that a View server is installed on a computer, it creates instances of the View
object classes that are defined in the VMware.View.Library management pack and establishes relationships
between these managed objects.
For a list of the managed objects for View Connection Server instances and security servers, see “View
Connection Server and Security Server Managed Objects,” on page 70. For information about the View
object classes and their relationships, see “View Object Classes and Relationships,” on page 70.
What to do next
(Optional) Verify the objects that the discovery script creates for a server by viewing the objects in the
Operations Manager console. See “Display Discovered and Managed View Objects,” on page 74.
