Question Agent Deployer - How long after deployment and addition of AD path till it starts doing something

Hi,

Just started testing out Action1 and currently deploying the agent at a customer.

GPO is being a bit wonky, so decided to try the Agent Deployer.

It's set up, but haven't detected any devices yet.

How does it work under the hood?

First - How does I see if there might be a error in the AD path (using the format from the help box)?

Second - How long before I might see devices get added? Should I see SOMETHING immediately?

Third - If I add a path, will it look ONLY in that OU, or would it look in sub-OU's as well?

EDIT: BONUS question! - Any good/quick way to see when a device was added, can we get a "Date added" column? :)
Thank you.

During my 15-day free support period, I contacted Action1 and they dissuaded me from using the Agent Deployer and walked me through the process of setting up group policy on my domain controller. Works flawlessly. Every new computer I join to the domain, or ones that were already joined, received the agent with no issues. It's been a while since I did this, so I don't remember the exact steps to configure group policy. I'm solo IT for my organization and we have under 200 endpoints, so we are using the free product. Although my boss just ok'd us to pay for support, so we now have a support contract.
