Installing Agents On Clients
Each client that is backed up by the AppAssure appliance must have the AppAssure agent installed. The AppAssure
Core console enables you to deploy agents to machines. Deploying agents to machines requires pre-configuring
settings to select a single type of agent to push to clients. This method works well, if all clients are running the same
operating system. However, if there are different versions of operating systems, you may find it easier to install the
agents on the machines.
Installing Agents Remotely (Push)
To install the agents remotely (push):
1.
If the client is running an operating system version that is older than Windows Server 2012, verify that the client has
the Microsoft .NET4 framework installed:
a) On the appliance, start the Windows Server Manager.
b) Click Configuration → Services.
c) Ensure that Microsoft .NET Framework is displayed in the list of services.
If it is not installed, you can get a copy to install from microsoft.com.
2.
Verify or change the path to the agent installation packages:
a) On the AppAssure appliance, locate the agent installation packages.
b) For the installation packages you plan to use, rename the file so a single contiguous Windows 8.3-compliant
filename (such as agent64.exe for a 64-bit agent).
NOTE: The installation package is available at C:\install\AppAssure.
You must use Windows 8.3-compliant filename because some special characters, if used in the filename,
are not processed correctly.
c) In the AppAssure Core console, click the Configuration tab, and then click Settings in the left panel.
d) In the Deploy Settings area, click Change.
e) Complete the following information about the agent location:
Field
Agent Installer Name The exact path to the folder\file for the agent.
Core Address
f) Click OK.
3.
Click the Tools tab, and then click Bulk Deploy in the left panel.
The bulk deployment fails if an agent is already installed on the system.
4.
In the list of clients, select all clients and click Verify to ensure that the machine is active and the agent can be
deployed.
5.
When the Message column confirms the machine is ready, click Deploy.
6.
To monitor the status of the deployment, select the Events tab.
Description
The IP address of the appliance running the AppAssure Core.
NOTE: By default, Core Address is blank. The Core Address field does not need an
IP address as the installation files are installed on the appliance.
