2. Select Validate MID server.
3. Select the Application manager icon (![]()).  
   The ITOM Infra Services Workspace displays.
4. In the Total MID Servers list, select the check box next to the MID Server you want to validate.
5. Select the Server Actions drop-down list and select Validate.
6. Select X to close the window and return to the Configuration Console.
7. To complete the setup, select Mark as configured.
