The Windows agent installation and update packages include an .msi file from which you can either run a setup wizard or perform a local, silent installation from the command line. The setup wizard walks you through the configuration settings for the Windows agent. The command line option enables you to specify the setting for installing on the local computer without user intervention. For more information about installing with the setup program, see Using the Setup Program to Install. For more information about silent installation, see Using the Command Line to Install.
NOTE:
The local installation process does not include the capability for deploying the agent package to remote computers. You must use the Windows console for Secure Configuration Manager for remote deployment.
If you want to manage systems in domains other than the domain for the Core Services computer, you must locally install at least one agent in that domain. For more information, see Understanding the Deployment Agent and Deploying to Untrusted or High-Security Domains.
