Installation of Agent in Multiple Windows Servers at Once

[DebjitGhosh31]

Hi All,

I am looking to install Agent to enable Agent based Discovery in our system. Now from the ServiceNow Product Documentation I found how to install agent in a windows device. But according to the article we have to install agent in servers one by one. Is there any way to install agent in all servers at once?

Please let me know.

Hi- If by "agent" you are referring to the Agent Client Collector (ACC)... to deploy on multiple machines, you have to leverage your existing tools to deploy the software.   SNOW ACC does not have a built-in way to deploy itself to devices.  Just like any software being distributed to several machines, you'll need to leverage other mass-deployment tools to get the ACC software installed (or do them manually 1 by 1... obviously not preferred)

Hope this helps a bit?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your response.

One more question on this topic, can I leverage the ACC Spoke to run installation on multiple hosts at once?

Regards,

Hello, sorry I'm not familiar with the ACC spoke.  But my gut reaction is ....I doubt it, because...

I worked on an ACC project earlier this year and at that time there was no SNOW-based solution to automatically deploy the ACC agent, hence I doubt that get changed... Just a guess 

Hope this helps?
