Installing agent on Mac manually?
Hello,
I ran the package and it seemed to have installed successfully but when I try to navigate to Library/KBOXAgent/Home/bin the directory doesn't exist. The agent appears to be running but the machine isn't appearing in the inventory. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
jimebong$ sudo SystemStarter start KBOXAgent

Starting KBOXAgent
SMMPAgent is already running (8909)
jimebong$ ps aux | grep kagentd
jimebong 8999 0.0 0.0 75532 460 s000 R+ 2:36PM 0:00.00 grep kagentd

BTW- THis is all for the pre-5.3 version of the Agent. Please check the latest Admin Guide and do a search for "ampagent" and you'll see information regarding install all three of the agents for Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Are you navigating to /Library/KBOXAgent/Home/bin (the absolute path, not the relative one, as you typed) as the root account?

Where does one actually get the package installer for OS X? I didn't see it listed in Software Library, just the KInstallerSetup.exe.

On a mac, navigate to smb://kbox/client/agent_provisioning/mac_platform.

That was my mistake, thanks!

Cool thanks! If for some reason I were to prefer installing via the package installer via Apple Remote Desktop, would it by default start reporting to the K1000 without having to put the server name in the Configuration portion of the installer?

Only if the K1000 is named the default name. Here's what someone else reports:
I have deployed the mac client using ARD. We pushed the package and then sent the following commands using the “Send Unix Command†option 1. sudo SystemStarter stop KBOXAgent 2. sudo /Library/KBOXAgent/Home/bin/setkbox <kboxname> 3. sudo SystemStarter start KBOXAgent
