Installing Windows Agent

The Windows Agent is required in order to execute certain tasks. (See the table for supported services.) This section explains how to install the Agent.

ASG recommends using this agent only if you have task requirements that are not handled by the Java-based, Platform Agent.

A silent install option also is available (see Installing the Windows Agent—Silent Install) that enables a system administrator to perform automatic installations, which is helpful if users do not have the necessary privileges for installing applications or if the agent must be installed across many machines.

Prerequisites

These are the requirements and prerequisites for installing the Windows Agent:

.NET 4.0 framework or later must be installed

• The Controller must already be installed (see Installing the Controller on Windows)

To install the Windows Agent

1. Click the Install ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator™ Agent link on the ASG-Enterprise Orchestrator™ Agent Installation Options page (see Installation Options).

Or  

Locate the local directory where you extracted the Windows Agent installation files and execute the setup.exe file as an administrator. The Welcome window displays.

When prompted, you can skip any files that are already being used (e.g., AEO\bin\Logons.dll).
2. Click Next. The Controller Port dialog displays.

3. Specify the controller port (not already in use) for the Controller, and click Next. The Agent Port dialog displays.

4. Specify the port for the agent. This should be a port that is not already in use. Click Next to display the Ready to Install the Program dialog.

5. Click Install to begin installation of the agent. When installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard Complete dialog displays.

6. Click Finish to close the wizard.
