How to install remote agent?

Thread needs solution

I've got Acronis Backup Advanced 11.5 and when I run the installer it allows me to extract the "Agent for Windows" and "Agent Core" as an MSI. I install these MSIs on a target machine but when I try to connect the remote console to it I'm told "Failed to establish remote connection: The remote machine has the stand-alone edition of the agent installed. Such agents do not support remote connections". I also tried deploying it via the Remote Install Wizard from the management console but it just ends up deploying the same stand-alone edition of the agent. How do I install the remote agent?

Hi Bert, stand-alone edition does not allow remote management. It relates to remote connection as well as remote installation of agents through Management console.
You have to install Agent and Management console on the same machine and use the product in stand-alone mode. Otherwise, purchase Advanced version of Acronis Backup.
By the way, why did you extract msi's ? Installer also allows you just to install the product using installation wizard.
