Hi there
We use the Silent Install options as part of the Altiris roll-out tools. In 5.5 the Silent Install started the Windows Hostagent. In 5.6 it does not. Is there a way to start the Hostagent as part of the install? We don't want to run a second command as it complicates the process.\
Thanks

Hi u2,
in 5.6 the Host Agent is no longer installed as a(n auto-starting) service, because any Agent running on the machine can deliver the metrics.
You have to explicitly install and start the Host Agent service on the machine if you need it.
Will check if we documented this prominently enough.
Cheers
G.
