Installing the Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent

You must install the Active Administrator® Azure® Active Directory® Connect Health Monitoring Agent on each computer that you want to monitor. Microsoft Azure Active Directory Connect must also be installed on that computer.

Before you begin installation, you need the following information:

•
The path from where you want to run the Active Administrator Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent.
•
The name of the Active Administrator server. To see the server name, select Settings | AA Server.
•
The name of the database server where the Azure Active Directory Connect database is installed and the name of the Azure Active Directory Connect database (ADSync is the default database). Only required if you choose not to use the default database, which is limited to 50,000 objects.
To deploy the Azure Active Directory Connect agent
1
Locate C:\Program Files\Quest\ActiveAdministrator\Server\SLAgent\AADCAgent.
2
Copy all the files in the AADCAgent folder.
3
Locate a folder on the target server where you want to place the files. For example: C:\Data\AADCAgent.

The Windows service will be installed in this location and the Active Administrator Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent will run out of this location.

4
Copy the files to the folder on the target server.
5
Right-click Setup.exe, and select Run as Administrator.

-OR-

Select Start | Command Prompt (Admin), navigate to the folder where you copied the files, type Setup, and press Enter.

6
Type Y and press Enter to install the Active Administrator Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent.
7
Type a name for the agent, and press Enter.

If you press Enter without entering a name, the default is the computer name, which displays next to Agent name in the prompt.

8
Type the name of the Active Administrator server, and press Enter.
9
For the Azure Active Directory Connect database, you have two options.
▪
To use the default database, which is limited to 50,000 objects, type Y, and press Enter.
▪
To use another database, type N, and press Enter.
a
Type the name of the database server where the Azure Active Directory connect database is installed, and press Enter.
b
Type the name of the Azure Active Directory Connect database (default is ADSync), and press Enter.

After the installation is complete, use the Agents tab or Setup.exe from the command line to manage the Active Administrator Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent. See Managing the Azure Active Directory Connect Health Monitoring Agent.

Select the Azure AD application.
10
In the Settings list, click Properties.
11
Record the Application ID for later input into Active Administrator.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Do not rely on the clipboard for saving the Application ID. Write it down or paste it into a .txt file. You need the clipboard to save the security key.
12
In the Settings list, click Required Permissions.
13
Select Windows Azure Active Directory API.
14
Enable the following permissions:
▪
Application: Read directory data
▪

20
Click Save.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Copy the key value to the clipboard because you need it for the next step in Active Administrator. You might also want to past it into a .txt file for safekeeping. Once you leave the blade, you can never view the key value again as it is permanently hidden.

The next step is to configure the Azure Active Directory Connect app settings in Active Administrator. See Configuring Azure Active Directory Connect application settings.
