Automatic Deployment of Endpoint Clients

Tiny Agent

The Tiny Agent functionality introduces a few major improvements to the current Initial Client package (which is a very thin client, without any blade, used for software deployment purposes).

The Initial Client is the Endpoint Agent that communicates with the Endpoint Security Management Server.

You can extract the Initial Client from the Tiny Agent.

The improvements include:

  • The Tiny Agent has a very small executable (smaller than 1MB)

  • It can be shared in various forms, enabling fast, easy and seamless first-time deployment.

  • Once combined with the Dynamic Package, it installs only what is necessary for each machine.

  • It is agnostic to the client version.

  • It passes Smart Screen validation - no more download warnings

  • It reduces network traffic for installing selected blades.

It is available for cloud deployments and for on-premises deployments running Endpoint Security Management Server R81 or higher.

To download the Tiny Agent:

  1. Do one of these:

    • Click Overview, and then click Download Endpoint on the top banner.

    • Click Policy > Deployment Policy > Software Deployment, and then click Download Endpoint on the top banner.

    The Download Endpoint Security window appears.

  2. Select a Download version and a Virtual group, and then click Download for an OS.
  3. For Windows OS, the system downloads the EndpointSetup.exe file. Run the .exe file on the endpoint to install the Endpoint Security client.
    Note:

    To extract the MSI file, run:

    EndpointSetup.exe /CreateMSI

  4. For macOS, the system downloads the EPS_TINY.zip file. Transfer the zip file to the endpoint.
    CAUTION:

    Do not change the EPS_TINY.zip file name.

    1. Unzip the file and open the EPS_TINY folder.

    2. To install the Endpoint Security client, do one of these:

      • Run the EPNano.app file.

      • In the terminal window, run:

        ./EPNano.app/Contents/MacOS/EPNano

  5. For Linux OS, the system downloads the installScript.sh file. Run the installScript.sh file on the endpoint to install the Endpoint Security client.
Note:

You can deploy the Initial Client to all your endpoint devices, using a third-party deployment tool, manually or remotely (see Remote Installation of Initial Client).
