The DRA Agent Utility (EaAgentUtil.exe) allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Install a DRA agent
• Uninstall a DRA agent
• Unregister a DRA agent
• Verify the status of a DRA agent

By default, you can run the DRA Agent Utility from the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder on your Administration server. You can also install and run the DRA Agent Utility from a computer that is not an Administration server.

Required Permissions for DRA Agent Utility 

To use this utility, the user account you specify must be an administrator or a member of the Administrators group on the computer on which the DRA agent is installed. The NetIQ DRA Agent service runs under the credentials of the local system.

Options for DRA Agent Utility

EaAgentUtil {/install} <agent computer name> <managed domain or member server name> [<domain name>\]<user name>

EaAgentUtil {/uninstall} <computer name> [<domain name>\]<user name>

EaAgentUtil {/unregister} <computer name> {<domain name> | <member server name>} [[<domain name>\]<user name>]

EaAgentUtil /status <computer name> [[domain name>\]<user name>]

Note:  You do not need to specify an Administration server name in the syntax. These commands always use the name of the Admnistration server where you run the command from when communicating with the NetIQ DRA Agent service running on the specified domain controller.
