How does the "Auto Deploy to New Servers in the Forest" work?
This feature works by adding any new machines to Active Directory to a "Pending Agent Install" state which is scheduled for the time in the settings. This information (deployment time and specified credentials) are stored in the database so there is no requirement that you have the Client open for any reason. The Coordinator service will handle the deployment itself.
Only servers NEW to Active Directory will get the Agent once the "Auto Deploy" is enabled. That is to say, when a brand new server (which has never seen AD before) is joined to the domain after the "Auto Deploy" is turned on. When this server object is enumerated for the first time by ChangeAuditor the machine is marked as "Pending" with a small clock icon in the "Deployment" screen until the time specified then the Coordinator will try to install the Agent. If the installation fails for any reason then there will be "Deployment status" displayed as "Failed".
