1.7 Automatically installing agents on computers
You can automatically deploy agents to the individual computers from the management server. You can use one of the following two approaches to deploy agents to computers:
- Automatically deploy agents to every computer discovered during the search.
-
You can automatically deploy agents to computers discovered during the search if these computers run the Windows OS. With this approach, you can have an agent deployed to every computer discovered during the search. Therefore, select this approach when you want to automatically deploy agents to all the computers in your organization.
- Deploy agents to selected groups of computers on which agents have not yet been installed.
-
With this approach, you can deploy agents to selected groups of computers to be managed and computers discovered during the search. This approach gives you the option to select the computers to which you want to deploy agents. Therefore, select this approach when you do not want to install agents on some of the computers in your organization.
- Important
-
You cannot deploy agents to computers running UNIX or Mac OS. (If you select multiple Windows computers together with UNIX or Mac OS computers as deployment destinations at the same time, deployment to any selected UNIX and Mac OS computers will fail.)
- Tip
-
If the display language of OS of the agent is not Japanese, English, Chinese, when execute remote installation to the agent itself, even if Interactive Services Detection dialog from OS might be displayed on agent, installation is successfully completed so ignore it.
Check the display language of OS at Control Panel - Regional and Language Options - Keyboards and Languages tab. In Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 or later, check Control Panel - Language
