How to install a node manually when installation from the console fails or not possible?

You may follow the steps below to do a manual installation.

1- From the installation files, copy the Enterprise_ReporterNode_3.5.0.12000_x64.msi file to the server in which you want to install this software.
2- Run command prompt as administrator (to bypass or avoid UAC issues) and change the directory to the folder in which you copied the msi file.
3- Run the following cmdlet: msiexec /i Enterprise_ReporterNode_3.5.0.12000_x64.msi /l*v nodeinstall.log



4- The installation wizard should pop up. Just follow the wizard until it completes. The /l*v parameter from the above cmdlet adds an additional instruction to create a log in verbose mode. Please note that adding /l*v nodeinstall.log at the end of the cmdlet is optional, but is recommended, so if the installation fails, you may look at the nodeinstall.log to determine a root cause of failure.
5- Now that the node is installed you need to associate this node to a cluster. Go to your Enterprise Reporter configuration manager console and go to Manage Discovery Cluster.
6- Select the cluster in which you want to associate the node.


7- Then on the upper right click "Associate Node(s) with selected cluster".




8- If associated successfully, you should be able to see the node associated to the cluster as seen below:



9- Now, as you see above the node under Task Options is set with the Maximum tasks 5 parameter. You may change this value to System Managed instead if needed by selecting the node and then click on Edit Node.
10- Click on the 3 dots button next to Node Credential to assign an account to run this node and select System - managed task option on the bottom and click Ok.


11- Click close on applying changes to node.


12- The node should display now the credentials that runs the service and as System managed.
