Comodo Endpoint Security Manager - SME - Administrator Guide
The ESM setup file can be downloaded as an executable from the admin console. The file can be transferred onto media such
as DVD, CD, USB memory so that the agent can be installed manually onto target machines rather than via the ESM interface. A
single copy of the installation files can be used to install the agent on any number of target machines.
Upon successful installation of the agent it automatically establishes connection to the ESM Central Service Server and the
endpoint can be controlled by the Administrator in the same way as it would if it were imported via the deployment wizard.
The endpoint security software, Comodo Internet Security (CIS) is typically also manually installed in the endpoint can be
remotely managed by ESM once installation of the Agent is completed. If the Agent is installed first (with the endpoint having no
CIS), the deployment wizard can be used to install CIS via the installed Agent.
Alternatively, Comodo Internet Security (CIS) can be installed in endpoint computers separately and from the CIS interface the
endpoints can be connected to ESM. For more details refer the sections, How to Install CIS and How to Connect CIS to ESM
at the Local Endpoint.
The newly added computer will be included to the default group 'Unassigned'. The administrator can then import the computer
into the required group to which the computer is allotted.
