Deploying the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more machines

You can simplify the task of deploying the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more Windows
machines by using the Deploy Agent Software Wizard.
NOTE: In the past, this feature was referred to as "bulk deploy."
When you use the Deploy Agent Software Wizard, Rapid Recovery can automatically detect machines on
a host and let you select the machines to which you want to deploy. For machines on domains or hosts
other than Active Directory or vCenter or ESX(i), you can manually connect to individual machines by
using their IP addresses and the appropriate credentials. You can also push upgrades of the software to
machines that the local Rapid Recovery Core already protects.
From within the Core Console, you can complete any of the following tasks:
• Deploying to machines on an Active Directory domain
• Deploying to machines on a VMware vCenter/ESX(i) virtual host
NOTE: Dell recommends limiting the number of machines to which you deploy simultaneously to
50 or fewer, to preclude experiencing resource constraints that may cause the deploy operation to
fail.
