# Step 2. Configure OpsMgr Agent Proxy Settings

OpsMgr agents running on Hyper-V hosts must be granted the privilege to insert new objects into OpsMgr as the Hyper-V topology is discovered. This is known as proxying.

To grant this privilege, do the following:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using an account with the local Administrator rights.
2. Go to the **Administration** pane.
3. Select the **Device Management** > **Agent Managed** node. 
4. In the right pane, double-click the OpsMgr agent running on a Hyper-V host to open the **Agent Properties** dialog.
5. Switch to the **Security** tab and make sure the **Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers** check box is selected.
