# Agent Configuration dialog box

This dialog box enables you to enable and configure the OpenText Professional Performance Engineering Agent on Windows machines.

To access, do one of the following on the machine:

- From the Windows Start menu, search or locate Agent Configuration under OpenText Performance Engineering.

- Run <installdir>\bin\AgentConfig.exe.

Important information:

- When the agent runs as service (magentservice.exe), files (such as script or parameter files) that are stored on remote network drives or referred to by UNC path cannot be accessed. To access files this way, run the agent as a process (magentproc.exe).

  Workaround: To access network share, configure the Load Testing Agent Service to run with an account that has network access permissions.

- When running the agent as a service (magentservice.exe), and the Agent Configuration as administrator under UAC or a standard user: If you click the OK button and attempt to restart the Load Testing Agent Service, it issues the warning "Access is denied" .
  Workaround:

  1. Run the Agent Configuration as administrator when UAC is off.
  2. If the current user is administrator or a user with appropriate permissions to work with Load Testing Agent Services, go to Service Manager (services.msc) and manually start the agent service. (In OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering, start the RemoteManagementAgent service).
  3. You can also run <installdir>\bin\subinacl.exe as administrator to grant a user (user1 in examples below) full access permission of the target service. For example:
     For OpenText Professional Performance Engineering:`subinacl.exe /service LoadRunnerAgent /grant=user1`
     For OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering:`subinacl.exe /service RemoteManagementAgent /grant=user1`
