Environment
- App Control Agent: Version 8.7.4 and higher
- App Control Server: Version 8.8.2 and higher
- Microsoft Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 2)
Objective
To install the Agent on a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 endpoint.
Resolution
- Navigate to https://ServerAddress/hostpkg
- Download the relevant Policy.zip file to the endpoint.
Example: Production-LowEnforcement.zip
- Extract the contents to a temporary location.
Example: C:\Temp\Production-LowEnforcement\
- Execute the SHA1 installation file.
Example: C:\Temp\Production-LowEnforcement\ParityHostAgent_sha1.msi
Additional Notes
- The Unbranded (ParityHostAgent) installer is designed to verify and ingest everything contained within the extracted zip file (configlist.xml.enc, keychain.json, server.conf, TrustedCertList.pem, and Yara.bt9).
- If the Policy.zip file is not available for download, navigate to https://ServerAddress/shpeherd_config.php and verify the Property: GenerateWindowsHostGroupZipPackage is set to true
- Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 do not support the SHA256 signed version (ParityHostAgent.msi) of the installer and must use the SHA1 (ParityHostAgent_sha1.msi) version instead.
