Agent setup
The Agent software should be installed on all computers
in the network that are to be audited or monitored. Agent program
requires one of the following operation systems:
- Microsoft Windows 98
- Microsoft Windows 98 SE
- Microsoft Windows Me
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation (Service Pack 6)
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
- Microsoft Windows XP Home
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional
|
Agent may be installed (or uninstalled) only by a user with administrator
privilledges (on systems Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000
and Microsoft Windows XP).

There are three ways of installing program.
1. Setup program.
In folder Agent on the uplook's installation disk there is
Agent's setup program: Setup.exe. Execute this program
on each of computers to be scanned or monitored. You may also copy the setup
program to a shared network drive and execute it from there. Generally,
installing program this way takes some time and effort, especialy in case
of large networks. Although you have to do it only once.
2. Modifying login script.
Modifying login script is a quick and efficient way of installing
Agents without "paying visit" to each computer.
To to it, copy file Agent.msi to a shared network drive.
By default file Agent.msi is saved in folder
C:\Program Files\AplusC\uplook\Master.
Now you may start modifying login script. Here is an example entry in the script:
dir "%PROGRAMFILES%\AplusC\uplook\Agent\AnuTest.exe"
> null || msiexec /i \\server\programs\agent.msi /qn
The command above checks if the Agent has aleady been installed
and if not it runs the installation file agent.msi from folder
\\server\programs.
That form of installation is performed in "quiet" mode,
that is without any messages displayed, error reports or any other output.
Standed Windows program, msiexec.exe is used for installation.
Providing additional parameters to msiexec.exe you may
install Agent in any way you need. List of all parameters of msiexec.exe
program is available on
Microsoft Help and Support pages.
The installation method described above may not always work.
It would not work if a user, who logs in systems Microsoft Windows NT,
Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP, does not have
administrator privilledges. It is not a problem under Microsoft Windows 98
and Microsoft Windows Me.
3. Remote installation.
If a computer, where you want to install Agent works under
Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000 or
Microsoft Windows XP Professional the installation process may
be performed remotely
right from the uplook's main program.
