File Reporter 3.6 includes two Agent types:
File System
Content
Formerly known simply as Agents, these are now referred to as File System Agents to distinguish them from the Content Agents introduced in File Reporter 3.5. File System Agents examine and report on NSS and NTFS file systems. Additionally, File System Agents examine and report on file system security, including folder rights, trustee assignments, and permissions.
File System Agents include:
AgentFS: The new Agent for scanning Windows storage devices.
The product ISO also includes the legacy Agent for Windows, which you should use only if you need to establish a Windows Agent as a Proxy Agent for an OES storage device.
NOTE:If you are upgrading the legacy Agent for Windows to AgentFS, uninstall the legacy Agent for Windows after doing so.
Agent for OES Linux: Agent for scanning OES storage devices.
File Reporter currently includes a single Content Agent:
AgentFC: Agent that performs file content scanning on files stored on Windows storage devices.
If you plan to utilize file content scanning, and if you are upgrading from a version of File Reporter other than 3.5, you will need to install Content Agents as part of the upgrade process. For more information, see Section 2.5, Determine Whether to Scan File Content.
