Agent > Deploy Agents

 

Any administrator can create an install package. Agent installation packages are preset with all configuration settings so users are not required to do anything to install an Agent.

Create an install package unique to each group Id you manage.

Create Package

Clicking Create Package opens a wizard where you can specify all configuration parameters for the Agent.

Set Default

Each administrator can specify their own default Agent by selecting the radio button to the left of the package name. (Set Default column.)

Click to remove a package from the list

Remove a package from your list. If you created the package, then this also deletes the package from the system and removes it for all administrator's lists.

Click to edit package parameters

Edits the parameters associated with this package using the package creation wizard. The wizard is a 6 step process used to uniquely configure each Agent install package to suit the needs of any deployment.

  1. Define rules for naming the machine ID

  2. Define rules for naming the group ID

  3. Specify installer command line options including the ability to install silently, without any task bars or dialog boxes.

  4. Specify a machine account to use as a template configuration for the new install. All settings and pending scripts applied to the template account are copied to the new account created with this install package.

  5. Optionally bind in an administrator logon credential to the install package. When the Agent package installs it first tries to install using the rights of the currently logged in user. If that user does not have sufficient rights, the administrator credential is used. The Agents install easily without any user interaction at all, even for users with restricted rights.

  6. Name the install package for easy reference later.

Share a package with other administrators

After creating an install package, you can share that package with other administrators by clicking the Share function. Master Administrators can make a package public and available to all administrators.

Download the package
