Zero Configuration

The Agent is developed for has been designed to require zero configuration:
- An Agent is not configured for a specific Master. Instead the Agent serves requests from any Master and is addressed by Process Classes of a Master.
- No Agent configuration is not required.
Easy Deployment
- Deploying the Agent to hundreds of servers is a task of minutes.
- JobScheduler can be used to automate the deployment of Agents. Alternatively popular tools such as Puppet® can be applied.

Agent Clustering

A number of JobScheduler Agents can be configured in an Agent Cluster for redundancy and fail-over of Agents.
Fixed Priority Scheduling
- JobScheduler Master will select the first available Agent for execution of jobs.
- If an Agent is not available then the next available Agent is selected from the Agent Cluster.
Round-Robin Scheduling
- JobScheduler Master switches the Agent for each job execution.
- If an Agent is not available then the next available Agent is selected from the Agent Cluster.

The Universal Agent can switch user accounts on Windows Systems, with authentication information being stored in the Windows Credential Manager. This solution provides a secure and compliant implementation that does not require the main Agent process to be run as root.
