What are the specifications needed for a successful agent installation?

• A. System Requirements
• B. Recommended Settings
• C. Installation Requirements
• D. Deployment Guidelines

Answer: (C)

Before you can install the agent, you must have a prepared, eligible environment. The idea is to identify the prerequisites and conditions that must be in place for the installation to run smoothly—things like the supported operating system and version, available disk space and memory, required user privileges (often administrator rights), network access to the management server, and any necessary ports, proxies, or prerequisite software. This category, Installation Requirements, is all about what needs to exist or be configured before you start the install process itself.

In contrast, System Requirements describe what the system must be able to do after the agent is installed, not the steps to install it. Recommended Settings are guidance for configuring the agent post-installation, and Deployment Guidelines cover procedures for distributing the agent across multiple machines, rather than the prerequisites for a single install.
