Installing a Windows agent

	Table 3-4	Windows agent installation settings
Setting	Default		Description
Logs File	C:\Program Files\Symantec		The installation directory prefix for the <prefix dir>/scsplogs
Directory	\Critical System Protection		subdirectory.
	\Agent		The installation creates an scsplog folder under the folder that
			you specify.
Agent Name	Host name of agent		The agent name.
	computer		After installation, you can change the agent name using the
			management console.
Polling Interval	300 seconds		The interval that the agent uses to poll the management server
			for policy and configuration updates.
Enable Intrusion	Enabled		Indicates whether to enable intrusion prevention.
Prevention			When enabled, the prevention features of Symantec Critical
			System Protection are enabled for the agent. The IPS drivers are
			loaded on the agent computer, and the agent accepts prevention
			policies from the management console.
			If you disable intrusion prevention and want to enable it in the
			future, you must run the sisipsconfig.exe tool in the
			\Agent\IPS\bin directory with the -i option, and restart the
			computer. The -i option toggles the intrusion prevention service
			on and off.
			Symantec strongly recommends that you enable intrusion
			prevention.
Enable Real-time	Enabled		Indicates whether to enable real-time notification.
Notification			In addition to using the polling interval, agents can use real-time
			notification to obtain configuration changes. With real-time
			notification, the management server sends a real-time
			notification message to an agent as configuration changes occur.
			Upon receiving the notification, the agent queries the
			management server for the changes.
			When real-time notification is disabled, the management server
			does not send any messages to the agent and relies on the polling
			interval to update the agent.
Notification port	2222		The port that is used to receive real-time notifications from the
			management server.
			You can change this port after installation by using the
			management console to change the agent properties.
