Nilex Network Scanning Agent is the name of the client software which handles collection of information. It is a Windows-based application that on NT platforms (Windows NT4, 2000, 2000 Server, XP & 2003 Server) will be installed as a Windows-service, while on Windows 98 and ME will be a program set to auto start when starting system.
The agents can be installed in several ways. Which way to choose may depend on what software is available to handle this and how the network is set up. The alternative closest at hand is to distribute agent with Nilex Network Scanning Manager. By scanning the network for new units it is easy to install agents to all computers.
They can also be installed by any application that handles deployment of software or by a log in script.
