Installing Recast Agents

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/.

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.

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."

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=  to specify the license file to use for your Agent installation. In version 4.2.2004 this needs to be specified for all silent Agent installations. This  will install the Full Agent on a device. 

Example:

msiexec.exe /i "Recast Agent.msi" /qn LICENSEPATH=".\License\my.license"
