If you choose to define your own server collection hierarchy, you can specify the subordinate servers from which the collecting server collects DDM probe results.

For more information about adding subordinate servers to server collection hierarchy, see the topic Adding subordinate servers to the DDM server collection hierarchy.

Note If the Domino Directory design has not been upgraded to IBM® Lotus® Domino™ 7 or more recent, the servers that display when creating or maintaining probes may include pre-Domino 7 servers from the domain. Be certain to specify Domino 7 or more recent servers when setting up or maintaining probes.
