Deploying to multiple machines

You can simplify the task of deploying the AppAssure Agent software to multiple Windows machines by
using the Bulk Deploy feature of AppAssure. You can bulk deploy to:
• Machines on a VMware vCenter/ESXi virtual host
• Machines on an Active Directory domain
• Machines on any other host
The Bulk Deploy feature automatically detects machines on a host and allows you to select those to
which you want to deploy. Alternatively, you can manually enter host and machine information.
NOTE: The machines that you are deploying must have access to the Internet to download and
install bits as AppAssure uses the Web version of the AppAssure Agent Installer to deploy the
installation components. If access to the Internet is not available, you can push the AppAssure Agent
installation program from Core machine. For information about pushing the Agent installation from
the Core machine, see
download core and agent updates from the License Portal.
Pushing the agent installation program from the core machine
If the servers being deployed do not have internet access, then you can push the actual agent installation
file from the Core machine. Your appliance includes the agent installation program file.
NOTE: Download Core and agent upgrades from the License Portal.
