Select the scan method for the package. See Scan Method Types for details.

The components included in the package depend on the scan method you have selected. For details on the components available for each scan method, see Security Agent Updates.

Before selecting the scan method, take note of the following guidelines to help you deploy the package efficiently:

  • If you will use the package to upgrade the agent to this Apex One version, check the domain level scan method on the web console. On the console, go to Agents > Agent Management, select the agent tree domain to which the agent belongs, and click Settings > Scan Settings > Scan Methods. The domain level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.

  • If you will use the package to perform a fresh installation of the Security Agent, check the agent grouping setting. On the web console, go to Agents > Agent Grouping.

  • If the agent grouping is by NetBIOS, Active Directory, or DNS domain, check the domain to which the target endpoint belongs. If the domain exists, check the scan method configured for the domain. If the domain does not exist, check the root level scan method (select the root domain icon () in the agent tree and click Settings > Scan Settings > Scan Methods). The domain or root level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.

  • If the agent grouping is by custom agent groups, check the Grouping Priority and Source.

    If the target endpoint belongs to a particular source, check the corresponding Destination. The destination is the domain name that appears in the agent tree. The agent will apply the scan method for that domain after the installation.

  • If you will use the package to update components on the agent using this Apex One version, check the scan method configured for the agent tree domain to which the agent belongs. The domain level scan method should be consistent with the scan method for the package.
