the name of the computer in the database, but only changes the name of the
computer displayed in the Computers window. Passwords protect this option.

Server connection
Connect directly to this Deployment Sever. Select this option so that the client
receiving the Deployment Agent connects to the Deployment Server you selected to
configure.
Address/Hostname. Enter the IP address or NetBIOS name of the Deployment Server
computer.
Port. Enter the port number communicating with the Deployment Server.
Enable key-based authentication to Deployment Server. Select this option to
specify mandatory authentication for client computers to connect to the Deployment
Server. This helps keep rogue computers from connecting to unauthorized Deployment
Servers.
Discover Deployment Server using TCP/IP multicast. Managed computers can use
the multicast address if they are on the same segment as the Deployment Server or if
multicast is enabled on the network routers. Ensure that the multicast address and port
match those set up on the Deployment Server. Try using defaults on both the client and
Deployment Server if you have problems while connecting.
