Installation


Note - Before beginning installation, please ensure you have uninstalled any other antivirus products that are on your server. More specifically, remove any other products of the same type as those Comodo products you plan to install. For example, if you plan to install only the antivirus then you do not need to remove 3rd party firewall solutions and vice-versa. Failure to remove products of the same type could cause conflicts that mean CAVS will not function correctly.

Background Note on CESM Agent: The CESM agent is a small application installed on every managed endpoint to facilitate communication between the endpoint and the CESM central server. The agent is responsible for receiving tasks and passing them to the endpoint’s installation of Comodo Security Software (CES, CAS OR CAV for Mac). Example tasks include changes in security policy, an on-demand virus scan, updates to the local antivirus database or gathering reports that have been requested by the central service. As an additional security feature, endpoint agents can only communicate with the specific instance of the central service which provisioned the agent. This means the agent cannot be reconfigured to connect to any other CESM service. The agent also acts as a tool for endpoint users to interact with the administrators for resolving any issues in their systems.




  • Click 'Agree and Install'.

The downloading and installing progress will be displayed.



After the agent installation, it will initiate communication with the CESM server from which it was downloaded.
