- The Agent Batch Installer provides a solution:
- for deploying JobScheduler Universal Agents,
- which allows the installation or update of any number of Agents on multiple servers.
- The Agent Batch Installer is used for deploying Agents on Unix systems. It is not available for Windows systems for the following reasons:
- The JobScheduler Master transfers the files needed for deployment to the Agent servers using SSH:
- Windows standard installations do not come with an SSH client. This means that additional software would have to be installed on every Agent server just for performing the file transfer.
