Agent Procedures Overview

NAVIGATION  Agent Procedures

The Agent Procedures module automates tasks performed on managed machines. Agent procedures can be run immediately, by schedule, or in response to a VSA system event or API request. The Agents Procedures module also enables you to:

  • Approve newly created or edited agent procedures using Pending Approvals. As a security precaution, all agent procedures must be signed and approved before they can be run.
  • View the status of all procedures run on a managed machine using Agent Procedure Status.
  • Spread out the impact agent procedures have on network traffic and server loading using Distribution.
  • Transfer files to and from managed machines using Get File and Distribute File.
  • Schedule the installation of Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications and patches using Patch Deploy and Application Deploy.
