Deploy a Windows Agent

These deployment instructions explain how to install the Software Vulnerability Research Agent on a single Windows machine, where the agent will run as a service and report back to the Software Vulnerability Research server on a daily basis.

Before deploying the Windows Agent, see the prerequisites in Agent-based Scan – Requirements for Windows.

Deploy a Windows Agent:

2. In the Settings module, go to Assessment > Downloads. For details see, Downloads.
3. Download the Vulnerable Software Discovery Tool Installer for Windows.

4. Run the SVMScanInstall.msi on a Windows machine you wish to scan. This step will set the Agent up to run as a service.
5. Follow the scan settings you have configured in the Scan Configuration ( https://app.flexerasoftware.com/#/settings/env/scan/). There are no configuration options to set during installation. In about 30 minutes, you should see the first set of scan results in the Software Vulnerability Research website.
