2. Right-click the device in the North-pane Servers, Workstations or Mixed tab (or from the Server or Workstation)
3. Edit Server or Edit Workstation
4. Go to General Settings
5. Change settings to meet your requirements
6. OK to save

1. Logon to the device
2. Open the Agent (search for Advanced Monitoring Agent or go to Start/All Programs/Advanced Monitoring Agent)
3. Enter the password
4. OK to login

Pre-Agent 9.8.3: use the password of the user who installed the Agent

5. Change the Advanced Monitoring Agent, 24x7 Checks and Daily Safety Checks settings to meet your requirements

Please note: where User Access Control is enabled on Vista and Server 2008, you may receive the message The requested operation requires elevation when opening the Agent without Windows administrative privileges. To alleviate this issue, go to All Programs, right-click on Advanced Monitoring Agent and Run as Administrator.
