St. Bernard Software, Inc. Protecting Your Network Investment
The 3rd screen lets you use existing “Credentials” to perform the remote installation, or lets you specify credentials as needed.
Also note that the specified credentials can be saved for the session only if your policy prohibits storing credential information.
When you click “Finish”, the LeafAgent will be pushed, and status information displayed. At the end of the dialogue you will be notified of success. A “head” icon (highlighted below) indicates an installed LeafAgent (see below). Allow a few minutes for starting the LeafAgent service and updating the database. You may get “Unable to Connect” until the LeafAgent is ready.
Once you have a LeafAgent target, go ahead and query the machine and deploy patches to it if you wish. Installing LeafAgents doesn’t change the patch deployment logic in any substantial way, making it easy to work with a mix of Agentless and LeafAgent machines.
In summary, LeafAgent installation options include:
Remote
Local
CommandLine
Active Directory
(nonhardened targets ... as shown above)
(hardened targets ... you can install just the AgentInstaller, see Custom Install) (Mass Deploy)
(Mass Deploy)
