RMA Installation

Hello,

Is it posible to install the RMA remote?

For example to install RMA with a batch file on a remote system.

Are there command line parameters to use RMA?

Regards

Install agent remote?
H'm, on the one hand we can implement this option on conditions that remote system has access to place where agent located and you have administrator's privileges on that remote system.
On the other hand with administrator permissions you don't need any special options, e.g. you may use Terminal Service.

Or you need to install agent that was already copied to remote system?

>Are there command line parameters to use RMA?

What commands do you need? May be we can implement it

Regards
Alex

Hello,

the main idear was to create a batch file wich copies the RMA folder to the remote machines and install the service, with password and post and so on.

I created allready a batch file to generate the import text files, one for each test catagory (CPU, Ping and so on).

We want to use the HostMonitor at our cutomers keep an eye on the sever, and it is not funny to create alle the test again and again, so I build up a batch file in with I just have to put the network data and run it. And the same I wont to do with the RMA.

So, you need command line parameter that will install RMA on remote system by executing script on local system.
Something like "rma_cfg.exe /InstallService \\Target_System Path_to_RMA_on_Target_System"
Correct?

Most ideal would be a 'push' install. Tell HM to install the RMA on a/several remote system(s) 'and off he goes'

Being able to set the target directory and user account to use (and optionally create if not present) should be one of the questions to be answered before the push install starts.

Good morning Alex,

that is exactly what we are looking for. But it would be nice to have some switches to set the password, to set the connection IP, to activate and to start the service.

But the idea from Marcus is also a good one. Because right now you have to touch every machine personally.

Ok, there is first version of the utility at www.ks-soft.net/download/rma_serv.exe
It can install, start and stop service on local or remote system.
For some unknown reason it can install service under localsystem account only. Probably something wrong with my permissions. We will try to figure out..

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!

This is the best support I ever got!!!!!!!!!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. The batch-file I'm creating has to run anyways as administrator, so it dosn't matter.

Thanks a lot, now I can make some points at my boss

REGARDS

I would like to push the RMA agent to multiple machines and install it as a service. Is there a way to do this? I found an old refernce to a utility but cannot find a place to download it (rma_serv.exe).

Is this only applicable for Windows environment ?

good idea...

I think it will be easy to do .sh to make it possible.. like

run install.sh that

ask ip of remote machine
ask user and password of remote machine
ask to make /usr/local/rma dir on remote machine and set 700 perm
exec on remote machine by ssh an uname command
take it and scp propertly rma bin on remote machines
scp on remote machine other files
set on remote machine startup on boot of rma

Hi Alex,

this is such a great tool, but there is no hint to that in the manual (the new one was just released).
I found that tool by chance.

Just add a line to the "How to install RMA" section in the manual
