If the Windows machines that you want to manage belongs to a domain that is not shown in this list, then
you must add that domain manually. Click Add, then follow the steps in the Add Domain wizard to
manually add that domain. Once the domain is shown in the Available Domains list, you will be able to
manage Windows machines in that domain.
Checking the Network Authority
Your VCM Collector has to gain access to each domain to interact with the Windows machines in your
enterprise. An account having Domain Administrator rights must be created for each domain that has
Windows machines you want to manage. An initial account (your default Network Authority Account)
was specified through VCM Installation Manager during installation; you may need to create others. Once
an account has been created, it must be assigned to domains or machine groups (see Assign Network
Authority Accounts).
The following procedure enables you to check for available accounts and add new ones if necessary.
