other domains can be detected if there is a trust relationship with the domain
where Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools is installed.
Subsequent network discovery queries are performed regularly every hour. For
each new query, Control Center divides the managed computers space into visibility
areas and then designates one Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools in each area
to perform the task. A visibility area is a group of computers that detect each other.
Usually, a visibility area is defined by a workgroup or domain, but this depends on
the network topology and configuration. In some cases, a visibility area might
consist of multiple domains and workgroups.
If a selected Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools fails to perform the query, Control
Center waits for the next scheduled query, without choosing another Bitdefender
Endpoint Security Tools to try again.
For full network visibility, Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools must be installed
on at least one computer in each workgroup or domain in your network. Ideally,
Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools should be installed on at least one computer
in each subnetwork.
