Installing a Windows agent
Installing a Windows agent
The Symantec Critical System Protection agent enforces policy on the
endpoints. Each agent enforces rules that are expressed in policies, thereby
controlling and monitoring application (process) and user behavior.
You must log on to an Administrator account to install a Windows agent.
About the SSL certificate file
The Windows agent installation requires access to a copy of the SSL certificate
file that was created during management server installation. The certificate file
is named Agent-cert.ssl, and is located in the management server installation
directory. The default management server installation directory is as follows:
C:\Program Files\Symantec\Critical System Protection\Server
To place the certificate on a computer that does not run the management server,
do the following:
■ On the management server that will be used to manage the agent, locate the
server installation directory and copy Agent-cert.ssl to removable media.
Optionally, you can copy the file from mapped network drives or network
shares.
■ On the computer on which the agent will be installed, create a directory and
then copy Agent-cert.ssl into the directory.
About the installation settings and options
Installation prompts you to enter a series of Windows agent values consisting of
port numbers, management server name, and so forth.
Note: The agent does not support IP aliases. If your network card is bound to
more than one IP address, the agent uses the first IP address on the network
card.
Table 3-4 describes the Windows agent installation settings and options.
