This installer is aimed at non-Active Directory networks or for Active Directory devices that are infrequently connected to the network.

Agent Mode automatic with Site Installation Package

When you install the Windows Agent using a site installation package, the Agent automatically determines the device type — server or workstation, and then installs the appropriate mode.

If you need to use server-only Checks on a workstation, we recommend you manually install the Agent on the workstation because it allows you to select workstation or Server Mode.

Server, not workstation, prices are applied when you install the Agent in Server Mode on a workstation.
