Manually Installing the CA SRM Windows Agent

CA SRM automatically installs the Windows Agent during the registration of Windows computers. However, if you want to install the Windows agent manually, use the below procedure.

Important!

You need local administrative access rights on the Application Server and on each computer that you want to manage.

You need to define domain security to collect operating system information from a target computer; therefore you must verify that you are loged onto the CA SRM Windows Client computer as a domain user with Administrator privileges.

If you cannot give Administrator privileges to the computer you want to register, for example, the computer belongs to a non-trusted domain, you must manually install the CA SRM Agent on the computer you want to register and then add it to the CA SRM database using the CA SRM Computer Registration Wizard.

To manually install the CA SRM Windows agent

1. Log on to a Windows computer with administrative access rights.
2. Execute setup.exe from the following directory on the Application Server:

   \\..CASRM Data\Database\Configuration\InstallAgent\NT
   

Note: Remote agent installation requires that the ADMIN$ administrative share exist on every target computer.
