Identifying What Agents Are on Which Servers

[MetsFan]

Hello,

Is there any way to identify which agents are installed on which servers. I know if you go to the backup server and check the Help About option you can see which agents have been registered for use on that particular backup server, but how do you tell which agents are on which server? We currently have 6 servers. Eddie Martin

Eddie,

2 things to try:

1. Check add/remove programs to see what is installed.

2. Check Services for each machine and you should see the service for Backup Exec if its running on there.

If the backup server has the agent license, then any "Remote" machine will/should only have a Remote Agent installed in the services, thats it, you dont install the exchange agent/sql/oracle etc.. on the remote machine, only Remote Agents go on there and the main server gets the license.
good luck

Yes that helps but if the backup exec service is running and it doesn't show which agent of backup exec is running, then you will run into a problem where disaster recovery may be on one server and on the other server that also has the backup exec service, it may have the open file agent on it, but not the intelligent disaster recovery option installed. Do you get what I mean?
