Deploying the Cisco Trust Agent

Deploy the Cisco Trust Agent to enable the OfficeScan client to report antivirus information to Cisco ACS.

To deploy CTA to clients from the OfficeScan Web console:

1. Open the OfficeScan server Web console and click Agent Deployment. The client tree appears.

• If you did not accept the terms of the Cisco License Agreement during installation of the OfficeScan server, you cannot deploy the agent. When you click Agent Deployment, the license information appears again. Read the license agreement and click Yes to agree to the terms.

2. Select the clients or domains to which to deploy the CTA and click Deploy Agent. The Agent Installation/Uninstallation screen appears.

3. Click Install/Upgrade Cisco Trust Agent. Optionally select to uninstall the Cisco Trust Agent when the OfficeScan client is uninstalled.

• Also use this screen to uninstall or preserve CTA status on clients.

4. If you selected domain(s) or client(s) on the client tree, click Save to apply settings to the domain(s) or client(s). If you selected the root icon, choose from the following options:

• Apply to All Clients: Applies settings to all existing clients and to any new client added to an existing/future domain. Future domains are domains not yet created at the time you configure the settings.

• Apply to Future Domains Only: Applies settings only to clients added to future domains. This option will not apply settings to new clients added to an existing domain.

• If the client to which you deploy the agent is not online when you click Install Cisco Trust Agent, OfficeScan automatically fulfills the task request when the client becomes online.
