Download Agent Binaries

You can place the agent installation program on the target Windows server in one of the following ways:

• Download the agent binaries from the CA Enterprise Log Manager user interface.
• Copy the agent binaries from the CA Enterprise Log Manager Application DVD or ISO image to the target server. The directory for the Windows agent is \CA\ELM\Agent\Windows_x86_32.

You must be an Administrator or have a role that grants you write access to the Administrative tab and Log Collection subtab of the CA Enterprise Log Manager interface.

To download the agent installer from CA Enterprise Log Manager

1. Log on to the computer where you want to install the agent, connect to the CA Enterprise Log Manager interface and log on with Administrator credentials.
2. Click the Administration tab.

   The Log Collection subtab displays the Log Collection Explorer in the left pane.

3. Select the Agent Explorer folder.

   A toolbar displays in the main pane. The downward-pointing arrow button is Download Agent Binaries.

4. Click Download Agent Binaries.

   Links for the available agent binaries appear in the main pane.

5. Select the desired Windows platform.

   The dialog, Select location for download by <IP address>, appears.

6. Select the location based on the type of installation you want:
   • Select the desktop as the location to download the installation program, if you want to install the agent manually with the wizard.
   • Select the C:\WINDOWS (or C:\WINNT) directory if you want to install the agent silently. This is the default location where the installer will create or modify, and then execute, a response file from the command line.
7. Click Save.

   A message showing the download progress of the selected agent binary appears, followed by a confirmation message.

8. Click OK.

   If you downloaded to the desktop, the agent installation setup launcher appears there.
