Discover the steps to effectively deploy the Downloader Agent using ESET PROTECT.
A. Upload the Safetica Downloader Agent file into a shared network folder:
- Create a shared network folder e.g. “\\DC.domain.com\msi”
- Grant read permissions for domain users and domain computers for this shared folder.
- Tip: Verify that the permissions are set correctly by accessing the folder from one other computer/user.
- Copy the file safetica_agent.msi into this folder.
B. Follow instructions in ESET Knowledge Base. Choose to install a package by entering the target URL and inserting the URL to the previously uploaded Downloader Agent .msi file.
This will install Safetica Downloader Agent onto the stations and you will be able to see the endpoints in Safetica Management Console and to install Safetica Client onto these stations.
Additional options for Safetica Agent Installation
You can also install Safetica Agent with Client Task - Run Command:
msiexec /i safetica_agent.msi STSERVER=Server_name
Where "Server_name" is the Hostname / IP address of the server where Safetica Management Service is installed.
You can use the /silent parameter at the end of the command to run the installation remotely and in a "silent" mode. e.g. msiexec /i safetica_agent.msi STSERVER=Server_name /silent
For the installation mentioned above the .msi package must be already present on the device. To run the installation where the .msi package is on a shared location, specify the location in the command as follows:
msiexec /i Z:\sharedLocation\safetica_agent.msi STSERVER=Server_name
