Agent Installer Update Window

Netwrix periodically releases updated Agent installation packages. Typically these updates address Microsoft KBs (hot-fixes) that alter LSASS components interfering with Agent instrumentation. See the Agent Information topic for more information.

To download an installation package, the Threat Prevention server must be connected to the internet. You may need to allow the following URL in your browser security settings:

Step 1 – Click Agents in the left pane to launch the Agents interface. Then click Update Agent Installer to launch the Agent Installer Update window.

Step 2 – Click Check for Newer Version of the Netwrix Threat Prevention Agent. Threat Prevention downloads the Agent installer from a static URL and compares it to your current installer.

  • If the downloaded version is newer, the message displays both version numbers and provides an option to apply the update. Click Apply Update.
note

When the Agent installer is replaced with a newer version, all Agents’ versions in the Agents interface are highlighted to indicate they aren't the current version. Agents should then be updated to the new version using the Upgrade Agent option on the right-click menu.
