Remote installation: Remote installation provides a convenient and uniform method for installing one or more Agents.
You can install the Agent remotely by using either UAM or CG AM. Depending on your agent deployment requirements, you can decide whether you need to install UAM, CG AM, or both. For more information, see Table 1-1, UAM and CG AM Comparison for all Security Products.

Your site standards prohibit software distribution mechanisms.
Remote installation using CG AM
You can use the CG AM to deploy the agents only if you have Change Guardian 5.0 or later installed. If you have only Sentinel and/or Secure Configuration Manager installed, you must use UAM to deploy the agents.
Local installation using command line: Local installation guides you through logging on to an Agent computer and locally installing all required components on the Agent computer.
Silent installation using answer file: Silent installation allows you to install the Agent without interactively running the installation script. Silent installation uses an installation file that records the information required for completing the installation.
