The Endpoint Agent is a part of the OpenText™ Endpoint Management software that lets your administrator manage devices over the network. The Endpoint Agent provides services that help the administrator do the following without visiting your device:
Manage policies that determine the behavior of your device.
Deliver software, and other files to your device.
Take inventory of your device’s hardware and software.
Each of these services is provided through the use of modules that plug in to the Endpoint Agent. Depending on the services implemented by the administrator, one or more of these modules might not be active on your device.
The Endpoint Agent connects to a cloud server. The server delivers policies and software for the agent to apply to your device, collects inventory information from the agent, and performs other services related to the management of your device.
