Installing and Using the Server Agent on a
Windows Server
To register a Windows server to Storage Manager, the Storage Manager Server Agent must be installed on the server. The Server Agent
allows Storage Manager to communicate with the Windows server to retrieve information and streamline storage management for the
server.
Download the Server Agent
Download the Server Agent Installer .msi file from the Data Collector website. If you are installing the Server Agent on a full installation of
Windows Server, perform this task from the server. If you are installing the Server Agent on a core installation of Windows Server,
download the Server Agent on another computer and then transfer the file to the server.
