This documentation supports the 21.3 (12.3) version of BMC Discovery.

Editing Windows proxies

You can view and update details about the list of available Windows Proxy pools and the corresponding proxies in each pool. Each proxy pool displays the Windows proxies in rows. For discovery tasks, the Windows proxy pool checks for a Windows proxy. For any proxy that was not previously used to discover endpoints, BMC Discovery attempts to communicate each proxy pool (matching the domain) in the order in which it appears in the UI table.

If BMC Discovery is able to successfully communicate with a given proxy, that proxy is used. If a communication timed out, other proxies in the pool are attempted. If a communication with a given proxy is unsuccessful due to an error, BMC Discovery attempts communication with the remaining pools in the order in which they appear.

Note

Reordering of Windows proxies in a Windows proxy pool is not supported, as the proxy used is selected automatically.
