1.6.6 Distributing agents to users as a file attached to an email

Attach the installation set to emails, and then send them to users. Users then double-click the attached file to install an agent on their computers.

Advantage:: Sending emails to all applicable users is a quick way of having agents installed on a large number of computers.
Disadvantage:: The minimum size of an installation set is approximately 80 MB, which varies according to the settings. Sending an email with the installation set attached to a large number of destinations can increase the burden on the mail server. In addition, if there is a limit on the size of files that can be attached to an email, email transmission might fail.

The following figure shows an overview of how an agent is installed from the file attached to an email:
