To see and update a server or workstation on the Main GUS, the machine needs to be
enrolled. Machines must be discovered before they appear in the Machines
tab of the Main GUS. Once discovered, the administrator can enroll or reject them.
What you should know
Machines must have outbound port 4595 open to communicate with the Main GUS. In turn,
the Main GUS must have inbound port 4595 open.
Workstations must be enrolled manually.
Servers connected to the Directory are automatically enrolled.
Most machines are auto discovered by retrieving the Main GUS address using one of the following:
Config Tool or Security Desk: The Directory address used in Config Tool or
Security Desk is used as the Main GUS address.
Expansion server: An expansion server that lacks Security Desk or Config Tool
attempts to connect to the Directory address provided in Server Admin.
In the Machines tab, select the machine you want to
enroll.
In the window that opens, choose from the following options:
Click Add to complete the enrollment process and add a new
machine. The Main GUS can view the machine's products and send install notifications
for available updates.
Click Reject to ignore enrollment of a server or workstation.
The Main GUS ignores all further communication from this machine.
Click Reset to delete enrollment of a server or workstation
and all information related to this machine.
Click Replace to accept the machine's new certificate.
NOTE: Machines remain connected to the Main GUS until they are rejected or reset. At that
point the machine will again attempt to enroll to a Main GUS. This minimizes the number
of standalone machines.
