Install the Local Security Agent on Computers
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.
Installation Requirements
Notification Server Version 7.0 SP4 (or later) must be installed before Local Security can be installed on the Notification Server computer. 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. |
