Learn about Agent Management so you can manage your endpoints, detect unprotected machines, and see different types of supported agents and their statuses in the "agent grid".
Agents Grid
Information Column: The Protected Computers and Unprotected Computers grids contain a column with this symboll: . This column provides information about computer types and informs about alerts that require attention from an admin.
Alerts
The icon appears when an admin attempts to install a VIPRE agent that fails due to missing credentials. This icon is displayed in the Unprotected Computers grid under individual Windows policies or the Windows policies group.
When the icon is clicked, the admin can

- Click Ignore, which clears the icon and no action is taken.
The icon also appears on the Protected Computers grid under individual Hyper-V policies, or on the Hyper-V policies group when an Active Protection installation fails for a Virtual Machine.
When the icon is clicked, the admin can
- Take Action, which retries the AP installation, or
- Ignore the alert, which clears the icon and no action is taken.
