Due to synchronization issues, any changes made to children located far from your home-site might take
some time to be reflected in the
Federated Sites Hierarchy
pane. See Basic Rules of Federated Sites (on
page 174).
Accepting Inclusion in the Hierarchy
You must accept a child link request manually if your administrator settings require this.
If the management server is installed as a
Network Service:
Computers involved must
not
be added as users to
each other's RC-E administrator role, but should be added as another RC-E
non
-administrator role. See Assign
and Remove Users and Groups to/from Roles (on page 149).
If the management server is installed as a
user account:
This user account must
not
be a member of the
administrator role of the server being linked to.
Otherwise inclusion will take place automatically.
See also Administrator Role and Federated Sites (see "The Administrator Role and Federated Sites" on page 174).

3. The new parent/child link is established and the
Federated Sites Hierarchy
