well if all clients are running the same operating system. However, if there are different versions of
operating systems, you may find it easier to install the agents on the machines.
You can also deploy the Agent software to the agent machine during the process of protecting a
machine. This option is available for machines that do not already have the Agent software installed. For
more information on deploying the Agent software while protecting a machine, see the Dell DL1000
Appliance User’s Guide at dell.com/support/manuals.
Installing Agents Remotely (Push)
To install the agents remotely (push):
1. If the client is running an operating system version that is older than Windows Server 2012, verify that
the client has the Microsoft.NET 4 framework installed:
a. On the client, start the Windows Server Manager.
b. Click Configuration → Services.
c. Ensure that Microsoft .NET Framework is displayed in the list of services.
If it is not installed, you can get a copy to install from microsoft.com.
2. Verify or change the path to the agent installation packages:
a. In the AppAssure Core console, click the Configuration tab, and then click Settings in the left
panel.
b. In the Deploy Settings area, click Change.
c. Complete the following information about the agent location:
Field Description
Agent Installer
Name
Specifies the exact path to the folder\file for the agent.
Core Address Specifies the IP address of the appliance running the AppAssure Core.
NOTE: By default, Core Address is blank. The Core Address field does
not need an IP address as the installation files are installed on the
appliance.
d. Click OK.
3. Click the Tools tab, and then click Bulk Deploy in the left panel.
NOTE: If the client already has an agent installed, the installation program will verify the version
of the agent. If the agent that you are trying to push is newer than the installed version, the
installation program offers to upgrade the agent. If the host has the current agent version
installed, then the bulk deploy will initiate protection between the AppAssure Core and agent.
4. In the list of clients, select all clients and click Verify to ensure that the machine is active and the
agent can be deployed.
5. When the Message column confirms the machine is ready, click Deploy.
6. To monitor the status of the deployment, select the Events tab.
After the agent is deployed, a backup of the client begins automatically.
Deploying The Agent Software When Protecting An Agent
You can download and deploy agents during the process of adding an agent for protection.
NOTE: This procedure is not required if you have already installed the Agent software on a machine
that you want to protect.
