Deploying the Stand-Alone VMware Inventory Agent

The stand-alone VMware inventory agent is shipped as a zip archive. Follow these steps to deploy the agent:

1. Create a folder (for example, VMwareInventory) on the Windows desktop or any other location.
2. Extract the contents of the Flexera-supplied stand-alone inventory agent file FNMS-VMware-Scanner.zip into this folder.
3. Using Windows Explorer, create a folder to save the collected inventory information (for example, C:\Inventories\). You should add this path to the OutputDir parameter in the esxquery.ini file.
