If u have problems with the remote installation method mentioned above, just do as follows.
Browse down the Backup exec installation CD,
x:\Winnt\Install\Eng\i386Copy the directory NTAA (NT Agent Accelerator)
to the server, on witch you want to install the agent on.
From a command prompt on the actual server, just browse to the NTAA directory and run "setupaa.cmd" that gives you an date/time stamp, when the installation is carried out.
