The Deploy Agent page creates and distributes an agent install package to multiple machines.
Agent Install Packages
Agents are installed on managed machines using an agent install package. An agent install package contains all the settings you prefer an agent to work with on a target machine.
The Agent > Deploy Agents page displays the agent install packages that are available in your VSA. A Default Install package is provided with the VSA. You might see other agent install packages already created and listed on this page.
An agent install package is created using the Configure Automatic Account Creation wizard. The wizard copies agent settings from an existing machine ID or machine ID template and generates an install package called KcsSetup. All settings and pending agent procedures from the machine ID you copy from—except the machine ID, group ID, and organization ID—are applied to every new machine ID created with the package.

Users can download agents from - Paste this hyperlink into an email message. The unique ID number ensures that when the link is clicked in the email message, the default install package is selected and downloaded.
