Recast Agents are installed on a computer and run Right Click actions on that computer as the local system account. Recast Agents are useful for running actions against workgroup devices or devices in untrusted domains. In this scenario, a Recast Agent would be installed on each workgroup computer that you would want to run Right Click Tools Actions against. A Recast Agent is installed using the Recast Agent MSI Installer, which is downloadable from https://portal.recastsoftware.com/.
If deploying 5000+ agents, please follow the instructions in 503.2 IIS Error | Recast Docs (recastsoftware.com) beforehand.
Start the installer
Connect to the Recast Management Server
Enter the Recast Management Server address and port number, click test to make sure that the Agent can connect to the Recast Management Server. When the installer responds with "Success" you can click install to continue.
If the installer does not connect to the Recast Management Server, the Agent will not be installed successfully. You must troubleshoot any error messages that appear in the installer before continuing with the the install.
Fast Channel Agent Install
On the second install screen, you can also select to only install the Fast Channel Agent. Choose this by clicking the box labeled "Install without connecting to RMS."
Select this option if you would like to install the Agent for Fast Channel only and not have it connect to the Recast Management Server (RMS). You will not be able to see this Agent in RMS.
Finish Agent Installer
After the Agent installer has finished, click Finish
Silent install with Recast Management Server
Add the parameter RCTENTERPRISESERVER=https://FQDN:Port to your install string so your agent can connect to the Recast Management server. Substitute the FQDN for your RMS server followed by the port number.
Example:
msiexec.exe /i "Recast Agent.msi" /qn RCTENTERPRISESERVER="https://RMS.RecastDomain.com:444"
Silent install without Recast Management Server
If you do not have a Recast Management Server, you will need to use the parameter LICENSEPATH=
msiexec.exe /i "Recast Agent.msi" /qn LICENSEPATH=".\License\my.license"
