Install the Agent on a Windows Platform from an Archive
You can install an Endpoint Operations Management agent on a Windows platform from a .zip le.
By default, during installation, the setup process prompts you to provide conguration values. You can
automate this process by specifying the values in the agent properties le. If the installer detects values in
the properties le, it applies those values. Subsequent deployments also use the values specied in the agent
properties le.
