Preparing for Control Manager Agent Installation

You need specific information about your product servers before you can install your agents. To help you with this task, print out the provided agent installation checklist to help you record necessary data.

Trend Micro recommends installing Control Manager agents during specific product installation.

You need administrator rights to access the target servers.

To prepare for Control Manager agent installation, Trend Micro recommends gathering the following information:

The products for which agents will be installed
Host name or IP addresses of the product servers
Administrator or equivalent credentials on the product servers where agents are to be installed
The User ID of the root account, and of users who are responsible for managing the product servers
Be careful when specifying the User ID above. If you delete the User ID you will have difficulty managing the product. See What happens if I delete the User ID that I used for registering a product? for more information.

The location of the encryption key of the Control Manager you want to register the agent with. Only Control Manager agents use this key.
For non-Windows products, see Compatible products for additional instructions.
