Diagram
A system architecture diagram showing an on-premises server with the Azure Connected Machine Agent connecting to Azure Arc via three network paths: direct internet, Log Analytics Gateway, and VPN or ExpressRoute.
Prepare and Install the Azure Connected Machine Agent
To manage on-premises Windows Servers from Azure, you install the Azure Connected Machine Agent and register each server with Azure Arc. First, ensure the operating system is compatible and that you have a Log Analytics workspace ready in Azure to receive the agent's data. You also need the right Azure permissions to manage the workspace. The agent communicates with Azure over TCP port 443, and you can choose how it connects. The simplest way is direct internet access. You can also route traffic through a Log Analytics Gateway or use a more secure hybrid network like VPN or ExpressRoute.
