Installing ITO Agents on the Managed Nodes

General Installation Tips for Managed Nodes

8. Under components, select [

Agent Software]

, then click

[OK]

.

The installation will begin. A new shell will open and start the
installation script. When prompted for the Administrator password,
give the password of the NT system administrator. When prompted
for the HP_ITO password you can either specify a password, or
simply press

Enter

and ITO will create a password for you.

NOTE

If you are installing the ITO agent software on a domain controller, do
not let ITO create a password for you, but specify your own. You will
need this password again when installing on another domain controller.

The installation script will then install the agent package on the NT
node. You will not receive any installation messages in the message
browser until the installation is complete.

9. Verify that the agent is running on the NT node by highlighting the

node icon and double-clicking the ITO

Status

application (in the

ITO Application Bank

Window).

This application returns the status of the ITO agent processes. If they
are running, you know that the NT agent is installed and that the NT
domain controller is functioning as the NT installation server.

If you wish to examine the installation log, use the

ITO Install

Log

application (in the

ITO Application Group: NT Tools

Window).

Manual Installation: Windows NT Agent

In some situations, it may be desirable to install the ITO NT agent
software on an NT PC without using the management server. This pre-
installation
makes it possible to prepare the PC, so that it is ready to
become an ITO managed node when it is later connected to the network.
This may be useful if a large number of PCs are prepared in some central
location, or if you want to avoid using the root connection over the
network that is necessary for a standard agent installation.

NOTE

If you are using this section to install the DEC Alpha NT agent, all
references to

intel

in the path name should be replaced with

alpha

.

For example:

/ms/

intel

/nt

should be changed to;

/ms/

alpha

/nt
