Change Auditor 7.6 - Installation Guide

If the computer is member of the local forest where coordinator resides, select This agent connects to a coordinator in the local forest. If the computer is a workgroup member or member of a foreign forest where no coordinator resides, select This agent connects to a coordinator in a foreign forest. For more information see Installing agents in a foreign forest.

The Installation Name screen prompts you to enter the installation name to identify the database where the coordinator is located. Click Browse to select the required installation.

Choose the destination folder and click Next.

Specify the authentication method to use to make Active Directory requests.

•

Select Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) to use Kerberos or NTLM.

•

Select Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to use certificates. See SSL certificate configuration and deployment for more details.


	NOTE: When making Active Directory requests, credentials and message content are encrypted for both authentication methods.

Click Next to begin the installation.

User Account Control (UAC) Settings

•

UAC policies typically use different settings for the ‘Administrator’ account and other accounts with Administrative privileges, so it may be easier to run the Change Auditor Workstation Agent installer with elevated UAC permissions if the Administrator account is used.

•

General UAC elevation and prompt level configurations can be accessed through the Control Panel User Access Control configuration.

•

More specific UAC policies can be configured in the Local Security Policy or a Group Policy Object (where appropriate) to determine whether all Administrators or the built-in Administrator account are run in Admin Approval Mode, the elevation prompt level, whether the secure desktop is used for prompting, whether elevation is possible without prompting, and so forth.

Deploying workgroup agents (non-domain workstations)

•

A workgroup agent requires NetBIOS over TCP enabled and access to the following ports inbound to the domain controllers:

•

UDP port 137 (name services)

•

UDP port 138 (datagram services)

•

TCP port 139 (session services)

•

A routable network path must exist between the workgroup computer, domain controllers, and the coordinator servers. Name resolution of domain controllers and the coordinator servers is also required from the non-domain computer, whether DNS server configuration, NetBIOS/WINS configuration or local hosts file entries are used.

•

Agents must be deployed manually. See Manual workstation agent deployment.

•

During installation, the agent installer prompts for Active Directory domain and credential information to locate a coordinator and installation name.

•

When the first agent is installed on workgroup computer, a ChangeAuditor Agents - <InstallationName> security group is created. User accounts must be added to this security group to properly authenticate.

•

The agent installer allows you to add the domain user account to the ChangeAuditor Agents – <InstallationName> security group, if appropriate LDAP and network protocol access is available.


	NOTE: Sometimes, you might need to pre-stage\create the ChangeAuditor Agents – <InstallationName> security group and manually add the configured workstation agent user account to the security group.

•

You can also use the Coordinator Credential Configurator to change between coordinator domains at any time after the agent is installed.


	NOTE: The Coordinator Credential Configurator application can be launched using the CoordinatorCredentialConfigurator.exe file in the agent installation folder on the workstation. The default agent installation location is: %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

Deployment Page

The Deployment page does not display non-member objects, such as ADAM workgroup servers or non-Active Directory workstations, because agents cannot be deployed to non-member objects using the Deployment tab.

Active Directory Information screen On the Active Directory Information screen, enter the Active Directory information required for the agent to establish a coordinator connection.
Name of Active Directory Root Domain (domain.com)	Enter the DNS name (domain.com) of the root domain of Active Directory.
Account Name (domain\user)	Enter the name of the user (domain\user) that can find and connect to a Change Auditor coordinator in the Active Directory forest.
Account Password	Enter the password associated with the previously entered user account.
Installation Name screen The Installation Name screen prompts you to enter the installation name to identify the database to which the coordinator is to be connected. A workgroup agent must join an existing Change Auditor installation.
ChangeAuditor Installation Name	Enter an existing Change Auditor installation or click Browse to select from a list of existing installations.
