Scripting Remote Agent Installs

[ekrengel]

Is there a way to script pushing the remote agents?  There are several servers in our list and job selection, and having 1 script each time with a list of our servers to push the re-install of the remote agents after a requried update would be much easier.

I knows in the RAW32 folder, there is the "setupaa.cmd" which you can use to copy to a server to perform a local install, can the command line parameters in this be used for a remote install?  Here is what is looks like:

@start /wait setup /RANT32: -s

I know there has to be some way...I'm guessing the "-s" is for the server...and it just chooses the local machine if no computername is specified.

Does no one know how to do this?

As far as I know, setpaa.cmd must be run on the computer that the remote agent will be installed on

You could use task scheduler to define a task that will run setupaa.cmd, then create a cmd file that will copy the setup directory to the target machine, then

use the AT command to execute that task

or use one of the remote shell utilities to execute setupaa.cmd
