The Local Security agent is software you can install on your managed computers, allowing the Local Security Solution to obtain defined local user and groups inventory and implement random password generation.

The Local Security Agent works with the Altiris Agent. Therefore, you must have the Altiris agent installed before installing the Local Security Agent. For information on installing the Altiris agent, see the Notification Server documentation.

The Local Security Agent gets installed on all computers in the All Windows Computers without Local User Security Agent Installed collection. This collection gets populated when the Altiris Agent communicates with the Notification Server after you have installed Local Security Solution.

To install the Local Security agent, do the following steps:

  1. In the Altiris Console, click the Configuration tab.
  2. In the left pane, navigate to Configuration > Solutions Settings > Security Management > Local Security > Windows > Local Security Agent Rollout.
  3. Click Local Security Agent Install Altiris Local Security Solution Help.
  4. In the right pane, select Enable.
  5. Click the Applies To: pencil icon and select the collections you want this policy to apply to.
  6. Select the scheduling option you want and click Apply.
