How to Update the Agent Password on a Host on a Perimeter Network
When you install an agent locally on a host on a perimeter network, the Agent Setup Wizard automatically generates a local account with administrator privileges on the host and a set of credentials for the account. It then encrypts the account credentials and other agent access information into a security file. After you add the host, VMM uses the credentials to communicate with the agent on the host.
You cannot change the credentials for the local account during setup; however, you can update the password after you have added the host.
Use the following procedure to update the password after you have added the host.
