| 14 | +# Tutorial: Moving from agent-based dependency analysis to agentless dependency analysis |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +This article describes how to move from agent based dependency analysis to agentless dependency analysis. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Before you start |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +- Ensure that you have [created a project](./create-manage-projects.md) with the Azure Migrate: Discovery and assessment tool added to it and discovery completed. |
| 21 | +- Review the requirements based on your environment and the appliance you are setting up to perform software inventory: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | + Environment | Requirements |
| 24 | + --- | --- |
| 25 | + Servers running in VMware environment | Review [VMware requirements](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#vmware-requirements) <br/> Review [appliance requirements](migrate-appliance.md#appliance---vmware)<br/> Review [port access requirements](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#port-access-requirements) <br/> Review [agentless dependency analysis requirements](migrate-support-matrix-vmware.md#dependency-analysis-requirements-agentless) |
| 26 | + Servers running in Hyper-V environment | Review [Hyper-V host requirements](migrate-support-matrix-hyper-v.md#hyper-v-host-requirements) <br/> Review [appliance requirements](migrate-appliance.md#appliance---hyper-v)<br/> Review [port access requirements](migrate-support-matrix-hyper-v.md#port-access)<br/> Review [agentless dependency analysis requirements](migrate-support-matrix-hyper-v.md#dependency-analysis-requirements-agentless) |
| 27 | + Physical servers or servers running on other clouds | Review [server requirements](migrate-support-matrix-physical.md#physical-server-requirements) <br/> Review [appliance requirements](migrate-appliance.md#appliance---physical)<br/> Review [port access requirements](migrate-support-matrix-physical.md#port-access)<br/> Review [agentless dependency analysis requirements](migrate-support-matrix-physical.md#dependency-analysis-requirements-agentless) |
| 28 | +- Review the Azure URLs that the appliance will need to access in the [public](migrate-appliance.md#public-cloud-urls) and [government clouds](migrate-appliance.md#government-cloud-urls). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Steps to move from Agent-based Dependency analysis to agentless Dependency analysis |
| 31 | +### Scenario 1: Your appliance is already configured with the credentials required for agentless dependency analysis. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + 1. You can start [dependency discovery](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless#start-dependency-discovery). |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + 2. You can [visualize dependencies](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless#visualize-dependencies) around six hours after enabling dependency analysis on servers. If you want to simultaneously enable multiple servers for dependency analysis, you can use PowerShell to do so. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Scenario 2: Your appliance is not configured with the credentials required for agentless dependency analysis. |
| 38 | +1. [Add credentials](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless#add-credentials-and-initiate-discovery) needed for dependency analysis. |
| 39 | +2. Wait for 24 hours. |
| 40 | +3. Perform steps from 1-2 from Scenario 1. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Refer [Analyze server dependencies (agentless)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/how-to-create-group-machine-dependencies-agentless) to perform export dependency data, stop dependency discovery, Visualize network connection in powerBI. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Next steps |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- [Group servers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/migrate/how-to-create-a-group) for assessment. |
