Agent Windows Cannot Install

[Ahmed]

Hi,

I’ve been struggling for 2 days now to install the agents on the windows clients with no success.
Zabbix installed on Debian 7.1 Server with Zabbix 2.0.7 from the repos.

This is where I download the agent

suiviperf dot com
zabbix_agent-2.0.7_nsis-source.zip
downloaded NSIS and compiled the .exe

Tried installing the agent through the GUI on Windows 8 and Windows server 2003
I’m getting this error message when trying to install on Windows 8 through the GUI

I cannot find log files on windows 8

Through the command line
zabbix_agent-2.0.7_installer.exe /server=192.168.15.181 /serveractive=192.168.15.181 /rmtcmd=1
Nothing happens, just the process hangs and must be killed from the task manager.

On windows Server 2003
The agent installs fine but I cannot find a running process for the agent neither a service on the server.
zabbix_agent-2.0.7_installer.exe /server=192.168.15.181 /serveractive=192.168.15.181 /rmtcmd=1 /S
When I try to run the agent from CMD I get this error message
zabbix_agentd.exe -c "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent\zabbix_agentd.conf"
zabbix_agentd.exe [61536]: StartAgents is not 0, parameter Server must be defined

I know that this is the same error but I do not know how I can set the parameter Server to anything.

One last thing, also the msi from suiviperf cannot be installed.

I need some help here, as I’ve been trying to do this for 3 days now with now success

I have never seen a gui installer for the agent.

I have never seen a gui installer for the agent. I would probably uninstall it and start over.

Go here and download the agent.

http://www.zabbix.com/download.php

Download the agent for Windows.

Unzip the folder.

Make a folder in the c:\called zabbix.

Put the unzipped contents in the zabbix folder

Navigate to the c:\zabbix folder.

Go to the c:\zabbix\conf folder.

Open the zabbix_agentd.win.conf file with notepad++ or notepad2 for Win8

Add the DNS name or the IP address for the Zabbix Server in the Server=

Example:

Server=zabbix-server <--put the name of your zabbix server here.

OR!!!

Server=192.168.1.2 <--put the ip address of your zabbix server here.

Open the command line as an Administrator.

Go to the c:\zabbix\bin\win64\

Enter the command: zabbix --install -c c:\zabbix\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf

It should say it is installed correctly and that a service has been started.

Check in the task manager under services to see if the Zabbix agent is running.

If the agent has not started enter the following command

Enter the command: zabbix --start -c c:\zabbix\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf

Open port 10050 in your firewall, so that the zabbix agent can communicate with Zabbix server.

If you having problems, go to this site.

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/install/windows_agent

Once you get it started it is awesome.

Command line is your friend!!!! In Linux.

Enter the command: zabbix --install -c c:\zabbix\conf\zabbix_agentd.win.conf

Just as a note, on most installations, the conf file is named zabbix_agentd.conf
It can be anything you want, but that is generally the standard.
