Remote Install

Use this function to install an agent remotely on a client. To determine if an agent already exists on a client, check the agents tab of the Host Name or IP Address of the host are present.

  Ensure the client State is set to "true." Otherwise, the remote Discovery Agent cannot be installed. Also, the installation of an agent removes the old agent and installs the new agent on the host.

If IP Address is selected, in the Agent IP field, type the IP address onto which the agent is installed.
