Deploy the Rogue System Detection sensor
The sensor is the distributed portion of the Rogue System Detection architecture.
Sensors detect the systems, routers, printers, and other network devices connected
to your network. The sensor gathers information about the devices it detects, and
forwards the information on to the Rogue System Detection server.
The sensor is a small Win32 native executable application. Similar to an ePolicy
Orchestrator SuperAgent, you must deploy at least one sensor to each broadcast
segment, usually the same as a network subnet, in your network. The sensor runs on
any NT-based Windows operating system, such as Windows 2000, Windows XP , or
Windows 2003.
For more information about the sensor and how it functions, see Chapter 11: Rogue
System Detection in the ePolicy Orchestrator 3.6 Product Guide.
Depending on how you have your test environment set up, you may have more than
one subnet represented in it. But you do have at least one.
To deploy the sensor:
1 In the console tree, select
2 In the details pane, select the
3 Select the subnets to which you want to deploy sensors by clicking once in the
checkbox for that subnet, then click
Sensor Deployment: Set Preferences
4 When the

is selected.
5 Although we are not setting criteria for ePolicy Orchestrator to use to deploy sensors
automatically, the availability of this criteria allows you to save time when trying to
decide on which systems to install the sensors. This way, ePolicy Orchestrator finds
the best systems on each subnet to install the sensors.
