Select Computers Window

The Deploy Agents wizard's Select Computer window is the first in a sequence of four windows to deploy the Agent on a computer. It provides three methods for selecting computers where Agent(s) can be deployed:

  • Add Single Host
  • Add from AD
  • Add from File

Any combination of these three methods can be used to select computers.

Add Single Host Tab​

The Add Single Host tab is displayed by default when the Select Computer window opens.

You can import a text file with a list of computer names or IP addresses with carriage returns, or a CSV file with comma-separated values.

  • List of Hosts/IP Addresses – Populates with computers from the text/CSV file
  • Add (>) button – Adds the selected computer(s) to the Deploy Agents to These Computers box

Once the list in the Deploy Agents to These Computers box is complete, you can continue through the wizard to deploy the Agent. See the Set Options Window topic for the next step.
