Setting Up Client Workstations
After you install the Webroot Enterprise Server, you must set up one or more client workstations.
This setup installs two components on each client workstation:
• CommAgent—communicates periodically with your company server to see if any
configuration changes, new or updated applications, or definitions are available. The
CommAgent also updates its settings based on the current server settings in the Admin
Console each time it communicates with the company server.
• Spy Sweeper—protects your computers from spyware.
You can install and update these components from the Admin Console. If you prefer to use other
installation methods, see “Alternate Client Workstation Setup Methods” on page 21.
Setting Up Client Workstations from the Admin
Console
You can install and update client workstation components from the Admin Console. You can also
see what version each client workstation has installed and the last heartbeat.
