Automatically rolling out agent using a wizard

The definition and execution of the different rollouts to be executed in the network can be done manually by creating the rollout and then defining all options, or they can be created via the Agent Rollout wizard. This wizard creates a new rollout from scratch with all the required settings and sends it to the list of targets. The pre-entered values are those defined during the installation of the master.

The wizard is available directly on the main Wizards menu from anywhere in the console, or it can be called from specific locations in the console.

1. Select the Wizards> Agent Rollout menu item from the menu bar.
2. The first wizard window appears.
