In some situations, you may want to install an agent on a node manually, without using the management server. For example, you may not be able to install software on a remote system because of security restrictions like firewalls.
In addition, it is not possible to remotely deploy DCE agents to node that have a UNIX or Linux operating system. Therefore, the only option is to install agents on these systems manually.
The procedures for manual agent installation are different, depending on whether you want to use the HTTPS agent or the DCE agent. Although the DCE agent is currently still supported, you are encouraged to use the HTTPS agent for new nodes.
