Installing agents using the console

You can install agents while you are adding servers to the system, or after you have added servers.

There are two approaches to installing agents:

Installing agents as an integrated process while adding or importing servers

Start the Add New Server wizard or the Import Servers wizard. For more information, see Adding a server to the system or Importing servers into the system.
On the Add New Server - Properties panel or the Import Servers - Import Servers panel, check If agent does not exist, install using Agent Installer Job.
Click Browse to navigate to the Agent Installer Job you want to use to install the agent. For more information, see Creating an Agent Installer Job.

Start the Add New Server wizard or the Import Servers wizard. For more information, see Adding a server to the system or Importing servers into the system.
On the Add New Server - Properties panel or the Import Servers - Import Servers panel, do NOT check If agent does not exist, install using Agent Installer Job. This adds the servers to the system without installing agents.
At a later time, when you want to install agents on these agentless servers, do one of the following:
- Run the Unified Agent Installer to target the agentless devices (see Running the Unified Agent Installer). The Unified Agent Installer wizard guides you through all steps necessary to install agents, including creation of an Agent Installer Job. You can run the Agent Installer Job immediately or schedule it to run later.
- Create or modify the objects necessary to install agents (see Creating objects for agent installation ). One of the objects you must create is an Agent Installer Job, which targets the agentless on which you want to install agents. (For information about this job, see Creating an Agent Installer Job). Execute the Agent Installer Job to install agents.
