Step 3:  Agent Verification

The purpose of the Agent Verification page is to verify that environment of the selected Management Agent is set up properly to communicate with DFS Namespaces.  For example, the Microsoft DFS PowerShell Management toolkit must be installed on the same system as the Management Agent and configured correctly.  If the toolkit is not already installed, you will be able to install it during the verification process.

Note: The verification process does not include checking whether DFS Services is running because DFS Services doesn't have to run on the Agent server itself; it typically runs on a domain controller.
