Collecting Access Explorer data

The Access Explorer agents collect data on only the computers you choose to manage. You can choose which folders the Access Explorer agent scans on the managed computer and you can set the schedule when the scan occurs.

Setting up a managed computer

A managed computer is one that is scanned by the Access Explorer agent for security data. When you add a managed computer, you have the option of installing a local agent on the same computer or configuring a remote agent installed on another computer. If you install a locally managed computer, you can automatically install the agent with the computer, or install the agent manually later.

If you choose to add a remote agent to a managed computer, the first remote agent must be configured during the deployment of the managed computer. You can add more remote agents later, if needed.

Figure 2 depicts the possible deployment scenarios for Access Explorer agents and managed computers in remote and local installations.

A locally managed computer is one on which the Access Explorer agent is installed and scanning security data on the same server. Local installation is available only for Windows® Servers. With a local installation, you also can choose automatic or manual installation. See Installing the Access Explorer agent locally.

A remotely managed computer is one that has its security data scanned and collected by Access Explorer agents running on different servers. Other than Windows® Servers, all other server types require remote installation. There is no option to install the agent manually. See Installing the Access Explorer agent remotely.
