Description

• Windows Agent was automatically installed on a device after being successfully imported from a Discovery Job
• This was not meant to occur as the Discovery Job was set to only import and not to push the installation of the agent
• Reviewing the associated rules on the new device, one is set enable one of the features, for example Patch Management

Environment

• N-able N-central

Solution

• This is by design as the features require an Agent to be on the device to be able to function correctly
• Going forward, please review your rules so it doesn't get automatically installed
