The HPCA Agent is used to manage devices in your environment. Deploy the Agent to devices using the Agent Deployment Wizard. For additional information about the HPCA Agent, see the HP Client Automation Enterprise Application Manager and Application Self-Service Manager Reference Guide.
You can deploy the Agent to single devices or to devices belonging to a group. Use the directory object tree to locate the devices, then use the Agent Deployment Wizard to create a deployment job.
In order for the Agent to be deployed successfully, the following may be required on the client devices:
If deploying to Windows Vista and later operating systems, access to the Administrative share (C$) on Windows Vista devices is disabled for locally defined administrators. Therefore, Windows Vista devices should be part of a domain, and the domain administrator's credentials should be specified during Agent deployment. If the devices are not part of a domain, additional steps are required to allow access for local administrators. See the following link on Microsoft's support web site for detailed steps:

After making these changes, reboot the device.
When you finish the steps in the wizard, an Agent Deployment job is created. A deployment job is complete when the Agent has been deployed to all devices included in the job. Use the Jobs area (see Managing Jobs) to view the status of any jobs.
