To launch a script through the Remote Desktop Manager Agent, you first need to open an RDP connection to all the machines you wish to execute the script on. Once opened, select all the opened sessions in the Navigation pane, right-click them and select Execute Script via Agent.

Execute script via Agent only needs the Remote Desktop Manager Agent when the script is executed from the Quick Script tab. Remote Desktop Manager needs to be fully installed on the remote computer when the script is executed from the Scripts/Tools tab.
