How to Install Manually

To install an agent, you must log onto the target server with Windows administrative privileges. The following sequence is the recommended way to prepare for installation and install the agent:

  1. Create a Windows user account for the agent.
  2. View or set the agent authentication key.
  3. Download the agent installer (agent binaries) on the server where you plan to install the agent.
  4. (Optional) Export a connector configuration to the server where you plan to install the agent.
  5. Install the agent with the agent installer.

    During installation, you enter the agent user account name and password, domain name, and the agent authentication key. If you exported the connector file, browse for and select it.
