Upload the rctrlx.exe file to MID Servers to enable running
discovery commands on Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010, and Citrix XenApp.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: admin or service_mapping_admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

During the discovery process, the MID Server runs Service Mapping and Discovery patterns on
applications and devices located inside the organization network. A pattern is a sequence of commands designed to detect attributes of a CI and its outbound connections. To execute commands over PowerShell correctly, MID Server runs patterns as
services using the rctrlx.exe file. The rctrlx.exe file is part of the open source
ManagePC utility and is available for downloading from the Internet.

Upload an rctrlx.exe file for every MID Server in your
deployment.

## Prozedur

1. Download the rctrlx.exe file onto your computer from the Internet.  
   For example, <https://github.com/leonsodhi/rctrlx/releases> offers the latest versions of the
   rctrlx.exe file:
2. Place the rctrlx.exe file into the folder for Windows 32-bit servers:  
   \<MID Server installation directory\>\\agent\\bin\\sw_wmi\\bin\\32

   For example, C:\\SN_MID\\SN_MID_Dev\\agent\\bin\\sw_wmi\\bin\\32.
3. Place the rctrlx.exe file into the folder for Windows 64-bit servers:  
   \<MID Server installation directory\>\\agent\\bin\\sw_wmi\\bin\\64

   For example, C:\\SN_MID\\SN_MID_Dev\\agent\\bin\\sw_wmi\\bin\\64.
