1.6.3 Uploading an agent to a Web server

Create and store the installation set on a Web server located within your organization. Then, take measures to make sure that users can download the installation set from any sites within your organization, and inform users that the installation set has been uploaded.

The users then access the applicable page to install an agent on their computers.

Tip

An alternative to this approach would be to provide a URL that enables the users to directly navigate to the file stored on the Web server and download it to their computers.

Advantage:

Informing all applicable users of the URL of the applicable site is a quick way of having agents installed on a large number of computers. In addition, because a Web system is used in this approach, the server side remains secure even without access control.

Disadvantage:

This approach requires an environment that allows you to build a Web server and enables users to access the Web server.

The following figure shows an overview of how an agent is installed from the Web server:
