Description
How to change the default install path of the InTrust Agent. -
Resolution
This will change the install path for all agents that are deployed from that Intrust organization but will not change the path for agents installed manually using the adcscm.nt_intel.exe -add command or the ADC_AGENT.9.0.0.1368.msi tool. Refer to Solution 17880 for information about manually installing agents:

The values in the "ADCOrganizationParameter" table of InTrust�s configuration database will need to be changed in order change the default install path of the InTrust Agent.
1. Create a share on the target computers or use the existing administrative shares. In this example the share path will be "D:\Quest\" and the share name will be "MyInstallShare".
2. Choose a name for the agent installation folder under this share. The actual installation folder will be the path to share folder + this installation folder.
3. Run the following SQL statements in Query Analyzer:
update ADCOrganizationParameter set Value = InTrust-Agent where Name = apw_installation_folder
update ADCOrganizationParameter set Value = MyInstallShare where Name = apw_installation_share
In this example "InTrust-Agent" is the folder name chosen on step 2. and MyInstallShare is a share name selected on step 1.
Agent will be installed to D:\Quest\InTrust-Agent which is accessible as by browsing the following UNC path <\\<computer_name>\MyInstallShare\InTrust-Agent>.
Note: These values can be directly modified in the ADCOrganizationParameter table using Enterprise Manager. The apw_installation_share can be any share that exists on all machines in your network including the administrative share, i.e. Admin$(default), C$, D$, E$, etc...
If you want a folder that is more than one level below the share, you will have to create all folders that are above that folder, e.g. C$ is your share and Quest\MyIntrust\IntrustAgent is the desired folder then you will need to create the Quest\MyIntrust folder structure under the C$ share or you will not be able to deploy the agent and will get an error similar to the following "Failed to install agent. Access to the shared directory failed - C:\ (The system cannot find the path specified. (Win32 error: 3)) The system cannot find the path specified. (Win32 error: 3)"
