Configuration Wizard - Adding Windows Services

Post by rferebee »

Hello,

Is it possible to add monitoring for Windows Services after the Windows Server Configuration Wizard has already been ran for a particular server? I'm having trouble figuring out the most efficient way to do this.

Currently, we have a server that we are not monitoring any Windows Services on and would like to add that functionality. When I run the Windows Server Configuration Wizard against that server's IP address, the system doesn't see it as already being in XI and takes me through the setup as though the server were a new addition.

I can't run Bulk Modification Tool because these particular services are not running on any other servers in my environment. Is there a way to "edit" an existing configuration or re-run it without removing the existing setup?

Thank you.

Hello, @rferebee. Have you tried rerunning the windows wizard one more time and adding new services? This should automatically add new services leaving the existing ones intact. As long as you use the same hostname in the wizard.
