Yes, EAAgentUtil.exe can be used to install the NetIQ DRA Agent service. The executable is installed in the \Program files\NetIQ\DRA directory.

This utility should be run from a Command Prompt. The following options are available for use:

EaAgentUtil {/install | /uninstall} {<computer name> | <managed domain or member server's name>} <domain name\user name>

The user account specified in the above syntax must have administrative privileges to install a service on the specified machine. Once installed, the agent will run under the credentials of the local system.

For example to install an the Agent service on DC01 in domain Dom01 use the following syntax:

EaAgentUtil /install  DC01 Dom01 Dom01\Administrator

The Application log on the DRA server will log the following events:

Event ID 15 ? The DRA Agent service started successfully.

Event ID 42 ? The DRA Agent service has registered the DRA server running on machine_name as a Primary.

Event ID 13625 ? The DRA server has been registered with the Agent on computer_name.
