A red dot appears next to the managed computer and the status becomes Agent unregistered while the agent is restarted. The status updates automatically, but you also can click Refresh to update the status. When the restart is complete, the status is OK.

Understanding the status of your agent

Viewing groups and users

In the Navigation pane, expand a management server to view a list of accounts that have permissions on the managed Access Explorer server, or click an object to display the list in the Objects pane.
