Installing an Agent

Before you can manage a network endpoint, you must install an agent. You can install an agent manually or using a wizard.

There are two ways in which you can install an agent on an endpoint:

• Install an agent remotely by creating an Agent Management Job. For additional information, refer to Installing Agents by Agent Management Job.
• Install an agent locally by browsing to the Ivanti Endpoint Security server from the endpoint that you want to manage and downloading the agent installer. For additional information, refer to Downloading the Agent Installer.

Installing Agents by Agent Management Job

Within Ivanti Endpoint Security, there are multiple methods of installing agents using an Agent Management Job. To create an Agent Management Job that installs agents from the Endpoints page, select Manage Agents > Install Agents from the toolbar.

Tip: You can predefine job targets by selecting endpoints from the page list.

For additional information, refer to Installing Agents by Agent Management Job.

Uninstalling Agents by Agent Management Job

Within Ivanti Endpoint Security, there are multiple methods of uninstalling agents using an Agent Management Job. To create an Agent Management Job that uninstalls agents from the Endpoints page, select Manage Agents > Uninstall Agents from the toolbar.

You can predefine job targets by selecting endpoints from the page list.

For additional information, refer to Uninstalling Agents by Agent Management Job.

Upgrading Endpoints

From the Endpoints page, you can upgrade your endpoints to the latest version of the Ivanti Endpoint Security Agent. You can update all the endpoints at once, but, as a test, you should upgrade just a few endpoints.
