Select Properties to open the Nodes Properties
dialog box, which displays the General tab by default. The
automatically generated unique ID (GUID) for the
selected node appears at the top of the dialog box.
In the Display Name box, enter the label (display name)
for the managed node. The caption appears in the Managed
Nodes list. This information is required and is automatically

dropping the node name from the Discovered Nodes list to the

Click Advanced Configuration to open the Advanced
Configuration dialog box, which displays the following
information:
Modify Agent ID: The GUID of the agent that resides on
this node. If you change this ID, you will see a message warning
you that you may no longer receive messages if the agent ID is incorrect.
Modify Certificate State: Shows whether the HTTPS node
has the certificates it requires to communicate securely with the
management server. You only need to update the certificate state
manually to troubleshoot certificate problems (for example, if you
deploy
certificates to this node manually, but network problems
prevent the agent from notifying the management server of this).
The management server received a certificate request and has
informed the node that it is not going to grant it.
Failed
Tthe management server tried to grant or deny the request, but
was not able to do it (because the node could not be reached, for
example).
Pending
A certificate request has been received for this node, but not
yet granted, denied, or discarded.
Granted
The certificate request has been granted on the management
server, but the node does not have the certificate yet. You may see
this state if you are granting many certificate requests at
once.
Undefined
No certificate request has been received for the node.
