You can choose to install and update the Windows agent on each local computer or use the Deployment wizard in the Windows console for Secure Configuration Manager to push the agent installation and updates out to multiple computers concurrently. Each installation provides the capabilities to audit, report, and analyze the following Windows agent components:
|
Component |
Installs support for... |
|---|---|
|
Microsoft IIS |
Managing Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) endpoints |
|
Microsoft SQL Server |
Managing Microsoft SQL Server endpoints |
|
Oracle |

|
Windows Agent |

When you install or upgrade Secure Configuration Manager, the setup program automatically includes a Windows agent on the Core Services computer.
For more information about the endpoint versions currently supported by the Windows agent, see the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager Technical Information page.
