Hi,

For big environments it is advised to use user-id agent.How will we be sure ?

is there a comparison for this.User number, DC number , ??? any number ? etc...

When we should install agent software ?

Thanks.

Approximate Numbers:

Agentless: Small/Medium-sized Deployments and LAB Environments

Monitoring up to 20 Domain controllers and/or Exchange servers.

User-ID Agent : Large Deployments

Monitoring up 100 Domain controllers and/or Exchange servers

Other thing is multi-domain with either no relation ship between us or not fully trust relation ship.

FYI - If you are having AD servers across WAN i.e. not local to firewall, then agent-less is recommended.

The agent-less option generates only about 5% of WAN traffic as the software agent to DC communication.
