Installing ObserveIT Agents

An ObserveIT Agent must be installed on any computer that you want to monitor and record. You can deploy as many ObserveIT Agents as required up to the licensing limit.

For a small number of monitored servers, it is recommended that you manually install the Agent on each system.

For larger deployments, you may use Group Policy Software policies in conjunction with the DNS auto-configuration to deploy the ObserveIT Agents.
