parameter to false using the following statement in the serviceConfiguration section of the
VRMAgent.exe.config le:

Because this seing is not encrypted, you cannot use the DynamicOps.Vrm.VRMencrypt.exe
VRMAgent.exe.config set trustAllCertificates false command.

true
(Default) The vSphere agent does not require a trusted certicate from
vCenter Server.

What to do next
For high-availability, you can install and congure a redundant agent for your endpoint. Install each
redundant agent on a separate server, but name and congure the agents identically.
Installing the Proxy Agent for Hyper-V or XenServer
A system administrator installs proxy agents to communicate with Hyper-V and XenServer server instances.
The agents discover available work, retrieve host information, and report completed work items and other
host status changes.
