11.0 Installing and Configuring Windows AgentFS

Procedures in this section include those needed for installing and configuring AgentFS on a Windows Server.

IMPORTANT:Both the legacy Agent for Windows and AgentFS serve the same function of examining and reporting on NTFS file systems, including file system security. AgentFS is an update to the Windows Agent software that is engineered for file scanning features introduced in version 3.5 and future releases. It also addresses a rarely-demonstrated incompatibility with Data Deduplication on Windows Servers. AgentFS cannot presently serve as a Proxy Agent for eDirectory storage resources. You must continue to use the legacy Agent for Windows to do so.

IMPORTANT:You cannot have both AgentFS and the legacy Agent for Windows installed on the same server host.
