Issue/Introduction

Are there best practices for mass deploying the DAgent on Windows computers?

Environment

Release : 3.3

Resolution

The 'Remote Agent Installer' tool includes the option to select the 'Entire Network' when creating a list of clients for DAgent installation:

 

For this example, select 'Directory'

Select Domain  (ex: EPM)

Select Computers

Select all the computers under that domain and OU group

Select a range of computers with a select and shift key

Then click 'OK' and 'Finish'

The above example is from a domain. Other resources under Entire Network can also be queried

Another method is to use a GPO using msiexec: 

msiexec /i dagent_x64.msi /qn server_tcp_addr=SpecifyHereYourGSSserverAddress server_tcp_port=402
