First agent rollout

The agent rollout wizard facilitates installation of the BMC Client Management agent within your environment. The two main components of this process are:

  • The Rollout Server, a device that generates self-extracting agent installation packages and can push them on the target devices.
  • Rollouts which include agent installation files, target devices and rollout options.

  1. Rolling out relay agents (with the master server as their direct parent) and
  2. Rolling out final clients (with one of the previously installed relays as their parent).
