Windows Protection

This chapter contains procedures for preparing and working with Windows clients. To protect Windows clients, lightweight core and bare metal agents are installed on the client machine. These agents are either installed automatically using the agent push feature, or manually in cases where the push feature is not supported.

This chapter describes push and manual agent installation procedures, agent upgrade procedures, agent uninstall procedures, and additional Windows setup and protection considerations.
