Installing the Lepide Agent Only on Specific Domain Controllers

Issue

The customer is using the Without Agent auditing method but is experiencing connection issues with two newly added Domain Controllers (DCs). The requirement is to install the Lepide Agent only on these two DCs, while keeping the Without Agent option selected in the application.

Resolution

Follow the steps below to install the Agent only on the required Domain Controllers.

Steps

• Create a new TXT file and name it:
  AgentAgentlessIP.txt

• Open the file and add the IP addresses of the two new Domain Controllers where the connection is failing.

  • Add each IP address on a separate line.

  • Ensure that the IP addresses are entered correctly.

• Copy the AgentAgentlessIP.txt file and paste it into the Lepide Data Security Platform installation directory:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Lepide Data Security Platform

• Restart the LepideDSPSvc service.

• Keep the Without Agent audit method selected in the Lepide application.

How It Works

When the Without Agent option is selected, Lepide will check the AgentAgentlessIP.txt file and install the Lepide Agent on the Domain Controllers whose IP addresses are listed in the file.

This allows the Agent to be installed only on the specified DCs without changing the overall auditing method from Without Agent.

Expected Result

The Lepide Agent will be installed on the two specified Domain Controllers. The installation may take some time after restarting the LepideDSPSvc service.

Once the Agent installation is completed, verify the connection and auditing status for the respective Domain Controllers.
