Automatic System
Discovery Mode
Discovery Mode
This feature is enabled by default. It automatically adds systems Cisco TMS discovers to a
folder in System Navigator, and configures their management properties to work with Cisco
TMS. Cisco TMS configures the systems with basic settings from the "Discovered Systems Tem-
plate". Modify this template to specify default settings that you wish all new systems to have.

Active Directory
These settings allow Cisco TMS to use Active Directory for its user and group settings. If the
Cisco TMS server is a member of a domain, it is highly recommended you enable these set-
tings by entering a valid Windows Domain account. The account does not need to be an admin-
istrator account, just a normal user account. If Lookup User Information… is enabled, when a
new user profile is created, Cisco TMS will automatically populate as many of the fields in the
user profile as possible from Active Directory. Allow AD Groups simplifies Cisco TMS Groups by
allowing you to use Groups from Active Directory as Cisco TMS User Groups which automates
which Cisco TMS groups a user belongs to.

Address(es)
This is/are the network addresse(s) that were configured in the Cisco TMS Installer. Cisco TMS
will send a SNMP query to these addresses to find new systems. If your network spans multiple
networks, add the broadcast address for each, separated by commas to allow Cisco TMS to
find systems automatically. Do not worry if all networks are not represented here as systems
can also be added manually and through systems contacting Cisco TMS.
