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 User Activity Reporting Module user interface.
• Copy the agent binaries from the CA User Activity Reporting Module Application DVD or ISO image to the target server.

  Directory for the Windows 32-bit agent: \CA\ELM\Agent\Windows_x86_32

  Directory for the Windows 64-bit agent: \CA\ELM\Agent\Windows_AMD64

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 User Activity Reporting Module interface.

1. Log on to the computer where you want to install the agent, connect to the CA User Activity Reporting Module interface and log on with Administrator credentials.
