Installing Agent for VMware (Windows)

Preparation

Follow the preparatory steps described in the "Adding a machine running Windows" section.

Installation

1. Click All devices > Add.
2. Click VMware ESXi.
3. Select Remotely install on a machine running Windows.
4. Specify the host name or IP address of the machine, and the credentials of an account with administrative privileges on that machine.
5. Select the name or IP address that the agent will use to access the management server.

   By default, the server name is chosen. You may need to change this setting if the DNS server is unable to resolve the name to the IP address, which results in an agent registration failure.

6. Click Connect.
7. Specify the address and credentials for the vCenter Server or stand-alone ESXi host, and then click Connect. We recommend using an account that has the Administrator role assigned. Otherwise, provide an account with the necessary privileges on the vCenter Server or ESXi.
8. Click Install to install the agent.
