Appendix A - Agent Configuration

The following screens walk through installing the IDSync Agent Service and the IDSync MMC Components on a Domain Controller when the IDSync Management Studio has been installed on that domain controllers.  This is not a recommended configuration.  However, the process is documented here to assist configuring test labs which may not have the resources to install the IDSync Management Studio on a separate computer.

Finally, reboot the server to activate the agent service.
