Below are the 2 steps to resolve this issue.


Installing Remote Agent on Windows Server 2003, Windows2008 & Windows2008 R2 in 2 ways;

2) The best way would be installing remote agent in Silent Mode.For 32-bit remote servers
1  : Copy the RAWS32 and MSXML folders from the Backup Exec Server in a new folder on the Remote Server (C:\prog. files\symantec\backup exec\agents\RAWS32 and MSXML)
2  : On the Remote server, open command prompt and navigate to the RAWS32 folder and run setupaa.cmd
Example : D:\BEAGENT\RAWS32\>setupaa.cmd
3  : Go to Start-->All Prog-->Symantec-->Remote Agent Utility
4  : Click on the Publishing TAB, enable Publiching and ADD the NAME OR the IP Address of the BE Server, Restart the Remote Agent Service on the Remote Server
This will install the Remote Agent in Silent Mode
For 64-bit Remote Server:
1  : Copy the RAWSx64 folder instead of RAWS32 and run setupex64.cmd insteed of setupaa.cmd and follow the steps above


Once you installed Agent by using CommandPrompt, you will get BackupExec Remote Agent Tool, open that & add BackupExec. Server IP as shown below

Commands (ipconfig, gpupdate/force, ipconfig/all etc.) are not working in Command Prompt on Windows7

This issue occurs normally when your PATH environment variable is not set correctly. SO you have to follow below steps to resolve it;


1. In a command prompt window, type 

echo %path%

This should display the PATH environment variable. In particular, it should have the directories path added  C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows in it. If it doesn't, this is your problem.

To fix it, do this:

1. Right-click Computer and select Properties.
2. Click the Advanced system settings link on the left.
3. Click the Environment variables button.
4. Find Path in the System variables list box and click the Edit button.
5. Add those two directories, C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows separated by a semicolon and terminated by a semicolon, at the front of the path environment variable.
6. OK out of everything.


Now it should fix your issue & enjoy.


it should look like as shown in below fig;
