Packager Tool

Agent Deployment Using the Packager Tool

Use the Packager tool to create a Microsoft Installer (MSI) package that can be used to install the Threat Management Agent to an endpoint. Launch the tool and create the package on any computer that can access the Threat Mitigator product console.

The tool prompts you to specify the Threat Mitigator IP address so the agent can identify its parent server. It also prompts you for the port number the agent will use to communicate with Threat Mitigator.

  1. Click the Download link next to Packager Tool.

  2. Click Run twice to launch TMAgentInstallConfig.exe.

  3. Click Extract to copy the files to a temporary folder in the computer. You can also click the button next to the text box to specify a different folder.

  4. The tool’s user interface opens.

  5. Check the folder to which the agent package will be created. To specify a different folder, click Browse.

  6. Specify the IP address of the Threat Mitigator server to allow the agent to identify its parent server.

  7. Type the agent port number. Ensure that you specify a port number that is currently not in use on target endpoints.

  8. (Optional) Choose to hide the agent icon from view. Because Threat Management Agent can be installed silently and does not have settings that users can configure, you may want to enable this option to avoid receiving user inquiries regarding the agent and its functions.

  9. Click OK. The agent package (PEAgent.msi) is created on the folder specified in step 4.

Package Deployment

After creating the agent package, deploy it to endpoints:
