IBM Performance Management

Configuring the agent on Windows systems

You can configure the Microsoft Lync Server agent on Windows operating systems by using the IBM Performance Management window. After you update the configuration values, you must start the agent to save the updated values.

About this task

You can configure the agent when the agent is running or stopped. The agent remains in the same state after configuration. For example, if the agent is running, it remains in the running state after configuration.

The Microsoft Lync Server agent provides default values for some parameters. You can specify different values for these parameters.
