Installing the eG VM Agent

Users have multiple options to choose from when it comes to installing the eG VM Agent. These options have been discussed below:

• Manually install the eG VM Agent on every Windows VM using the executable that eG Enterprise provides, and on each Linux VM using the scripts provided;
• Bundle the eG VM Agent as part of a template VM, and use this template to create multiple VMs; this way, the eG VM Agent is automatically available in all the VMs that are created using the template;
• Use a software distribution solution such as Microsoft System Center to distribute the eG VM Agent software to existing Windows VMs from a central location;
• Connect to each VM and silently install the eG VM Agent on it, without using the executable/script that eG Enterprise provides.

The first, third, and fourth installation options alone are discussed here.
