How to install Lotus Notes Agent on remote domino server?

Hi, I've been searching for a good manual for pushing the Lotus Notes Agent to a remote Domino server. I can't find any. Anybody out there who have done this with BE 2010? Thanks.

    The only thing i can't figure out are if there are any client Lotus Notes Agent files that I should install?

    No.  The Notes Agent (or any database agent for that matter) just unlocks the capability on the media server as Craig said several posts up.

    To talk to the remote server at all you need the Remote Agent intstalled and running.  So if the Notes Agent shows as installed on the media server, and the Remote Agent is installed and running, you should see a Notes Database option when you browse to the server that holds it.

    Communications errors? Have you checked to see that there is no firewall in operation between the 2 servers, and if so, that the necessary port exclusions have been put in?
    I also get push-install hassles at times. My issue is that it is sometimes McAfee blocking it...another thing to check up on is that your AV isn't blocking communication.

    Hmmm

    have you tried publishing the Agent to the media server?  See  the Admin Guide for details

    Hi CraigV,

    I have checked:

    - windows firewall is disabled.
    - Antivirus is disabled
    - WMI is enabled and security is acording to article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa393266.aspx

    Still I get this error when trying to push the Remote Agent to a Windows server 2003 (see attachment). Any suggestions?

    Mmm...is the service account a local administrator on that Lotus Notes server...?
    What does the local install do?
