Configuration

Once the Non-Persistent Agent for the Ivanti Neurons Platform is installed, it needs to be configured. The configuration is performed by the Np.Agent.Orchestrator.exe application.

  1. Browse to C:\Program Files\Ivanti\Ivanti Cloud Agent
  2. Run Np.Agent.Orchestrator.exe.
    This application requires administrator privileges.

The orchestration application is responsible for registering the endpoint with your instance of the Ivanti Neurons Platform. It then downloads and installs the latest version of the Ivanti Edge Intelligence Engine.
Once the installation completes, the following message displays:

Non-Persisten AGent: System configuration successful
