Abstract

Examples described herein include systems and methods for onboarding a device into a management system. An example method can include loading a management agent onto the device and receiving inventory information for the device. The example method can further include receiving a request to whitelist the device. In some examples, the request originates from a different device, such as a device used by a technician installing the connected device. The management server can authorize the device and add it to the whitelist. After authorizing the device, the management server can onboard the device by sending management information to the management agent on the device. The management server can then exercise management control of the device through the management agent installed on the device.
