Scenario 2: Two Domains or Workgroups

Describes the scenario of the controller and agent computers being located in different Windows domains or workgroups.

In Scenario 2, the controller and agent computers are located in different Windows domains or workgroups.

Working on the controller computer, you can install, re-install, and uninstall the Silk Performer Agent software on the agent computer (<agent name>) in the remote domain or workgroup (<domain name>). To install the agent software, you must specify a user who has administrator rights in the domain or workgroup where the agent computer is located and his or her password (<user name>, <password>).

To install the agent software, execute the following command:

PerfRsManager -i -host <agent name> -user <user name>
              -domain <domain name> -pwdUser <password> -log

This command sets up the agent computer so that it can be configured and rebooted from remote computers.

To re-install or remove agent software, you must know the port to which the agent software responds (<port number>). By default, the agent uses port 19200. You must also know the password by which the agent software is protected from unauthorized access, if one is in use (<password>).

To re-install agent software, execute the following command:

PerfRsManager -i -host <agent name> -port <port number>
              -pwdService <password> -log

If the agent software responds to the default port, you can omit the -port parameter.

To uninstall the agent software from the computer, execute the following command:

PerfRsManager -r -host <agent name> -port <port number>
              -pwdService <password> -log

If the agent software responds to the default port, you can omit the -port parameter.

The preceding commands generate log files with detailed information about the installation or uninstall process. If you do not want to generate these log files, omit the -log parameter.
