Bundled Install

The bundled EXE installer includes all Verify Privilege Manager Agents for Windows machines (Core, ACS, LSS), replacing the three separate deployments previously required. You can use the bundled installer directly on individual endpoints for testing or for production environments in either 32-bit or 64-bit environments.

To ensure you have installed all prerequisite software on your managed computers before you install the IBM Security agents, please see our System Requirements for Verify Privilege Manager and Agent System Requirements.

To install IBM Security agents on a single testing machine, follow these steps:

  1. Download the Bundled Agent Installer - Windows.

  2. Run the IBM Security Bundled Installer on the computer you want to manage.

  3. During the setup process, enter the Verify Privilege Manager Server URL (or AZ Service Bus Queue URL) and the Install Code when prompted.

    The Install Code field can be left blank when using versions lower than 10.5.

  4. After the installation you will be prompted to restart your endpoint.

The bundled installer does require a restart in order to ensure the agent is completely ready to use.

Rollout to Multiple Systems

To install IBM Security agents on multiple machines,use the following command line:

PMAgents_11_4_3215.exe /quiet /norestart ServerUrl=https://{servername}/Tms/ InstallCode=5Z0NRFZJLPVZ

where:

  • /quiet makes the install run quietly

  • /norestart will prevent the installer from restarting the machine (but a restart may still be required, so a restart should be scheduled for any upgrade)

  • ServerUrl sets the server URL (replace {servername} with your actual server name)

  • InstallCode sets the install code (replace with a valid install code from your Agent settings. Refer to Agent Install Codes)

Installation Log Files

Installation log files can be found in %temp% of the user who ran the install.

  • For an interactive user/service account:

    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\

  • For a System account:

    C:\Windows\Temp

You can set the log file location by using this command line (replace of the X characters with the proper agent version):

PMAgents_XX_X_XXXX.exe -l C:\bundle_log.log

There will be several log files, including one for the executable and one for each of the subcomponents.

Bundled Uninstall

To uninstall, use the following command line:

PMAgents_11_4_3215.exe /uninstall /quiet /norestart
