Connecting to a different foreign forest/updating credentials

Once the agent is installed, you can select to use a different coordinator in another domain or update the credentials

* 
IMPORTANT: The agent must be restarted once a change has been made.

You can update the domain and required credentials:

•
Right-clicking the agent SysTray and selecting Coordinator Credential Configurator.
•
Running the CoordinatorCredentialConfigurator.exe file in the agent installation folder on the agent server. By default, this is located under %ProgramFiles%\Quest\ChangeAuditor\Agent.
* 
NOTE: If User Account Control is enabled, you may need to authorize the Coordinator Credential Configurator tool to use the required elevated permissions by right-clicking on the tool and selecting 'Run as administrator' option.

Example deployment scenario

The following diagram shows two separate forests where Change Auditor will be deployed. Forest A is deployed first and then Forest B is added.

Forest A installation
1
Install the coordinator on a member server in Forest A. In this example, Coordinator.ForestA.com is used as the coordinator server.
While installing the first coordinator, make note of the “Installation name”. The same installation name is required when deploying agents to Forest B.
2
Install the client on either a workstation or member server. In this example, CAClient1.ForestA.com is used as the client computer.
3
Using the client, connect to the coordinator in Forest A to deploy agents to computers in Forest A. See Deploy Change Auditor Agents for more details about deploying agents.
At this point, Change Auditor should be fully deployed to the first forest in the organization (ForestA.com in this example).
Forest B installation

Option 1: Deploying agents to a foreign forest through the Change Auditor client

1
Using the client, connect to the coordinator in Forest A.
2
Deploy agents to the required computers in Forest B. (See Deploying agents to a foreign forest for details.)

Option 2: Installing agents manually in a foreign forest

1
Run the appropriate Agent MSI on the required computers in Forest B where the installation is required. The MSI should be launched from an elevated command prompt.
2
When prompted, select the This agent connects to a coordinator in a foreign forest option.
3
Enter the Active Directory root domain name of the remote forest where the agent will connect.
4
Enter a domain administrator user account from a domain where the coordinator is located and click Next.
5
Enter the Installation Name that the agent needs to join and click Next.
6
Click Install.
The agent will now connect to the coordinator in Forest A and the computer will be available in the Deployment tab of the Change Auditor client.

 

Workstation Agent Deployment

Workstation agents are required to capture login activity events when a Change Auditor for Logon Activity Workstation license is applied. This section provides recommendations for deploying agents necessary for auditing both domain workstations and non-domain workstations. It also includes instructions on manually deploying workstation agents.

Manual workstation agent deployment

Deploying workgroup agents (non-domain workstations)

 

Recommendations and deployment requirements

All workstation agents
•
See the Release Notes for a full list of the minimum system requirements for workstation agents.
•
Quest recommends a phased approach to deploying workstation agents. Deploying a maximum of 100 workstation agents at a time allows you to monitor the coordinator performance before deploying another batch of agents
Deploying workstation agents (domain workstations)
•
The recommended installation is from the Deployment tab of the client. See Change Auditor agents.
•
Alternately, you can manually deploy workstation agents. See Manual workstation agent deployment.
Deploying foreign forest workstation agents (domain workstations)
•
The recommended installation is from the Deployment tab of the client. See Deploying foreign forest agents.
•
Alternately, you can manually deploy workstation agents. See Manual workstation agent deployment.
