    • Gmail

    • Google Drive


Set Credentials

  • Choose the credential to be used for the scan:

    • Use Default: This option uses the credential previously assigned to the agent during setup.

    • Use Alternative: If the agent requires different credentials to access the target data, select this option and provide the necessary credentials. Make sure to include the NetBIOS domain name in the domain field. If the agent is standalone (not on a domain), enter the agent’s NetBIOS name instead.

Schedule the Scan
