AuditWizard - Administration - General - Redeploying the Audit Agent

Back to Contents

Overview

A new version of the Audit Agent service is not always provided when the application is updated. However, when it is provided, it must be redeployed to maintain compatibility.

Redeployment

1. Go to Network View.
2. Right-click a target computer in the left-hand pane and select AuditWizard Agent > Remove.
3. Conditional, when testing: To verify that the Agent has been removed, right-click the target computer and select AuditWizard Agent > Check Status. If it has been successfully removed, the log will report Success, AgentStatus is Not Deployed.
4. Right-click the computer in the left-hand pane and select AuditWizard Agent > Deploy > CONFIGURATION, where CONFIGURATION is the name of a configuration. You may have created more than one. If not, there will be a single default option. Select this.
5. Conditional, when testing: To verify that the Agent has been deployed, right-click the target computer and select AuditWizard Agent > Check Status. If it has been successfully removed, the log will report Success, AgentStatus is Deployed. The computer icon in the left-hand pane will acquire a green badge to indicate that the Agent is deployed and running.

The option Update Configuration is used to update the settings if these have been changed, not to redeploy a new version of the Audit Agent.

Note that you can do this operation on a range of computers, not just one.
