The manual Windows agent setup program installs an agent on the local Windows computer and guides you through Windows agent configuration. You can also silently run the setup program. For more information about installing unmanaged agents silently, see Section D.3, Installing Unmanaged Agents Silently.
To manually install an agent on a Windows computer:
Log on with an administrator account to the computer on which you want to install an unmanaged agent.
Close all open applications.
Run the MAISetup.exe program located in the Additional Setups\Manual Agent Installation folder in the installation kit.
NOTE:When you manually install an agent on a computer with Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows 10, you may need to run the setup program using the built-in administrator account.
To run MAISetup.exe as the administrator, open the command-line interface using the runas command:
runas /user:administrator cmd
In the command-line interface, enter the following command:
c:\installation folder\Additional Setups\Manual Agent Installation\MAISetup.exe
where installation folder is the location where you saved the installation kit.
Follow the instructions until you have finished manually installing the unmanaged Windows agent.
Log on to the central computer as a member of the OnePointOp ConfgAdms group.

In the right pane, click Authorize Unmanaged Agents.
