Agent installer for Windows 2000 client

The agent installer for Microsoft Windows supports a graphical Administrator Interface as well as a command-line installation option. Windows 2000 clients can use either the complete installation or the custom installation.

To install the agent using the installer

1 To begin the installation process, log in to the system as a user that has full access to all files and folders (i.e. local administrator) and launch the installer file that is located on the installation media or that has been downloaded from the Unitrends Customer Care Center online.
2 Once the installer has been launched, a message indicating the required access and permissions will be displayed; simply acknowledge this message to continue.
3 Review the license agreement and select the radio button that corresponds to acceptance of terms and conditions of the agreement. Print a copy of the license agreement by clicking Print before continuing.
4 Select the Complete or Custom option and click Next.

Note:   If the Windows OS is upgraded to a newer release or service pack then the Unitrends agent must be uninstalled and reinstalled.

5 Proceed to one of the following:
ClosedComplete installation for Windows 2000 client

The complete installation method installs the core component, which includes Windows bare metal, remote administration, and the ODM driver. By default, the USNAPS driver is installed only on Microsoft Windows Server 2000 operating systems. Installation of the USNAPS driver always requires a reboot of the client following installation.

If the installer detects that Microsoft Exchange Server is installed on the system, then the legacy Exchange agent is installed. Likewise, if Microsoft SQL Server is detected on the system, the legacy SQL Server agent is installed. The installation directory for the complete install is C:\PCBP.

The installation takes only a few minutes to configure the system and to copy necessary files. When the process is complete, a message displays indicating the status of the installation.

ClosedCustom installation for Windows 2000 client

The custom installation method allows you to select which components to install on the system. Any combination of components may be selected for installation. The installer does not prohibit the installation of a component when the underlying software is not installed on the system. For example, the legacy SQL Server agent may be selected for installation on the client even when the Microsoft SQL Server software is not installed. In this case, the application agent will not function as designed. Therefore, it is recommended that all appropriate software be installed or planned for installation, prior to installing the corresponding agent.

The installation takes only a few minutes to configure the system and to copy necessary files onto the system. When the process is complete, a message displays indicating the status of the install.
