Cause
The Basic Setup Tasks are located in the Getting Started section of the console. These should be the first steps completed after installing the console.

Resolution
Select target domains:
The Privilege Manager console is initially configured to allow you to manage the privilege elevation settings for the domain to which the local computer belongs. In addition, the console also allows you to manage other domains in your forest.
Privilege Manager will work across multiple domains within a single forest, if the appropriate domain permissions are configured. The Enterprise Admin Active Directory account must be used with the Privilege Manager console. Using the Privilege Manager console across multiple domains in a single forest is allowed, however if you’re looking for our best practices the recommendation is that each domain within the forest a completely separate installation of Privilege Manager.Create GPO with Default Rules:
This will launch a wizard that will walk you through the creation of rules by allowing you to choose from a list of useful default rules that you can add to a new or existing GPO. This step is optional as rules can be created manually in the Group Policy Settings section. However this is a good opportunity to get a few rules setup quickly.
Configure a server (Pro feature only)
This may be a bit confusing as you have already installed the Privilege Manager Console.
The Console is the Management Application and is used to create and manage rules within the Group Policy. When you launch the application to edit GPOs you are using the console. The Server, what we will be configuring now is a back-end service which is needed to automatically deploy the client, as well as enable reporting, discovery and remediation.
