Installing the Windows agent on the vCenter server
This topic provides instructions for installing the Microsoft Windows agent on the vCenter server.
Install the Windows agent on the vCenter server, as described in Installing an RSCD agent (Windows).
Note
Previous versions of BMC Server Automation required the installation of a special vCenter agent. That requirement no longer applies, as you now install the Windows agent on the vCenter server.
- Open the c:\windows\rsc\exports file and edit the permissions. Follow whatever permission guidelines you are using for exports or users or users.local files.
Open a command window and run the following command from the system on which NSH is installed:
agentinfo
<vCenterServerHostname>
Theagentinfo
command displays various types of information, including an entry for the OS. The OS should be a Microsoft Windows OS and the letters "VC" should be appended on the same line, which signifies that it is a Windows computer with vCenter running on it.
For example:U:\>agentinfo 10.128.25.3
10.128.25.3:
Agent Release : 8.5.00.336

Security : Protocol=5, Encryption=TLS1
Host ID : C0A16568

Proceed to Adding the vCenter server to BMC Server Automation.
