Install the BeyondTrust Discovery Agent on Standalone Windows System

Overview

The BeyondTrust Discovery Agent is a service that is packaged with BeyondInsight. By default, it runs on the appliance where BeyondInsight is installed, or in the case of a cloud instance, it runs where your resource brokers are deployed.

For on-premises deployments, the discovery agent can also be installed separately on a standalone Windows system and configured to communicate with BeyondInsight on your U-Series Appliance. This increases scanning capacity and is helpful in environments that have a large number of hosts.

You can download the discovery agent from the BeyondTrust Customer Portal at https://beyondtrustcorp.service-now.com/csm.

Prerequisites

Before installing the BeyondTrust Discovery Agent, ensure the following prerequisites are met on systems where the agent is being installed:

• The .exe version of the agent installer is used so that it can install required prerequisites, such as the .NET 6 Hosting package.
• The eEyeEmsClient.pfx certificate is located in c:\temp.
