How To Push or Pull Management Agents

Before you can fully manage devices with the console and receive health alerts, you need to install LANDesk* Management agents on them. You can choose to install the default agent configuration (which installs all LANDesk* agents) or customize your own agent configuration to install on your devices. (The agent configuration must include the monitoring agent to receive health alerts.)

To install management agents:

  • Target devices in the My devices list, then schedule an agent configuration task to remotely install agents on the devices.
  • Map to the core's LDlogon share (\\coreserver\ldlogon) and run SERVERCONFIG.EXE.
  • Create a self-extracting device installation package. Run this package locally on the device to install the agents. This must be done while logged in with administrative privileges.

To pull the agent from the LDlogon share (only works on Windows devices):
1. At the system you want to configure, click Start > Run, then type \\coreserver\ldlogon\ServerConfig.exe.
2. Select the components you want to configure the system with, then click Install.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The system now has the selected agents installed. No reboot is required. The device is automatically added to the My devices list.

To push the agent:
1. Target devices in the My devices list
2. In the left navigation pane, click Agent configuration, right-click the configuration you want to push, and click Schedule task.
3. In the left pane, click Target devices, and click the Add target list button.
4. Click Schedule task, click Start now to start the task immediately or Start later and set the task's start date and time, and click Save.
