Installing the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On

Remember, the following additional considerations:

  • File System Considerations:
    • To run the FileSystem Job Group in Applet Mode or Proxy Mode with Applet, install .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later on the targeted file servers so Sensitive Data Discovery collections can occur successfully.
    • To run the FileSystem Job Group in File System Proxy Mode as a Service, also install the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On (32-bit SensitiveDataAddon.msi) on the proxy server. The proxy server also requires the .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later. The Enterprise Auditor license file will need to be accessible locally for this installation. See the File System Proxy as a Service Overview topic for additional information.
  • SharePoint Consideration – To use the SharePoint Agent to scan for sensitive data, also install the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On (64-bit SensitiveDataAddon.msi) on the application server which hosts the Central Administration component of the targeted SharePoint farms, after you install the Enterprise Auditor SharePoint Agent on that server. The SharePoint server also requires .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later. The Enterprise Auditor license file will need to be accessible locally for this installation. See the SharePoint Agent Installation topic for additional information.
note

Before running the installation package, close the Enterprise Auditor application.

You need the Enterprise Auditor license file during installation. You can import it from the Enterprise Auditor installation directory when you install the add-on on the Enterprise Auditor Console server. To install the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On:
