Deploy the ADES AIM Using Remote Deployment

Create a software job to install the ADES AIM on the host using the CA Virtual Assurance Remote Deployment.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to the CA Virtual Assurance application and go to the management view.
2. Find the host that you want to deploy the ADES AIM in the Resource tab.
3. Create a job and select the platform type as Windows and the available wrapper packages are displayed.

   Specify the following parameters in the wrapper package when creating the job:

   User

   Defines the name of a domain administrator without the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). For example, adminuser.

   Password

   Defines the password of the user.

   Domainname

   Defines the name of the domain that is monitored through the ADES AIM. Enter the FQDN.

   Management Entity

   Specifies which hosts to manage, based on the technology.

   0

   Monitor Active Directory hosts only.

   1

   Monitor Exchange Server hosts only.

   2

   Monitor both Active Directory and Exchange Server hosts.

   Management Mode

   Specifies which hosts to manage.

   0

   Discover and monitor all hosts in the domain automatically that the management entity defines (Domain-based management).

   Note: Hosts of child domains are not monitored automatically.

   1

   Discover all the hosts in the domain but monitor only the hosts that are configured through the manager (Host-based management).

4. Select the necessary packages and deploy them on the host.

   Verify the job status from the jobs panel. If the job fails, redeploy the package again.
