AuditWizard - Concepts - Types of Auditing - Agent
From Layton Support
Definition
This is a service installed on a client computer. It runs locally and uploads to a specified network share. When a new version is available, it must be removed manually and replaced through the AuditWizard interface (auto-upgrade feature coming in a future version).
Use Cases
- The Scanner relies on users logging in. For computers that are infrequently logged into, such as servers, the Agent is the better choice because it runs without needing a user to be logged in and will audit a computer on a set schedule.
- Laptops can be audited while off the network.
