Automated Agent Installation on Systems Not in a Domain

To automatically push the eG agents from the eG manager to a target host that is not attached to a domain, use the Agent Installation For Machines Not Attached To Any Domain page that appears when you select the Systems Not in Domain option under the Installation menu in the Agents tree structure. Then, follow the steps detailed below to configure the eG manager to install the agents on the target hosts:

1. In the IP Address text box provided in the Agent Installation For Machines Not Attached To Any Domain page, enter the IP address of the target system on which an agent is to be installed. To install the eG agent on multiple targets, provide a comma-separated list of IP addresses here.

   Alternatively, you can create a CSV file on the eG manager host, where you can specify the IP addresses of all the target hosts. You can then upload this file to the eG manager. For this, click the Load IP Addresses through CSV link. This will invoke a pop-up that provides you options for uploading the CSV file. Click on the Upload File button in the pop-up window to browse the eG manager host for the CSV file and upload it.

2. After you specify the IP address(es) or path to the CSV file (as the case may be), from the Profile Name drop-down , pick the Password Profile that you created in eG, which contains the credentials for connecting to the target host(s). In case of Linux hosts not attached to a domain, select the Password Profile that contains ‘root’ as a user name.

3. The User Name drop-down will then be populated with all user names configured in the chosen Profile Name. From this drop-down, select the user name using which the eG manager should connect to the target host(s). In case of Linux hosts, make sure you select ‘root’ from the User Name drop-down.

4. Finally, click the Install Agent button.

5. The Installation Status page will then appear, reporting the status of the installation. To know what the Installation Status page reveals, click here
