You can monitor, start, stop, and restart services on Non Windows Agent computers with Universal Policies. You can use an existing or a new policy, but the Universal Policy needs to be linked with the OU that has the agents where you want to perform the action.
NOTE:You can use the command-line interface to refresh policies.
Agents deliver flexible installation and configuration capability to work across enterprise and cloud. Supported Agent Install modes include agent machines joined to:
On Premises AD
Cloud AD
Cloud Non AD
This allows you to monitor files in real-time and for persistence of local Configuration files, outside of the Universal Policy and the Sysvol check cycle.
In addition, the cloud agent helps extend on premises AD management capabilities to cloud-based resources. This permits you to leverage on premises AD authorization and authentication to improve security and reduce the number of unmanaged identities.
To start, stop, or restart a service on am Agent computer:
Select a Universal Policy and click Policies to open the Add Policies dialog box.
Expand the Services node and enter the service name. This must be the actual service name as opposed to the friendly name of the service.
