The SQL Compliance Manager Agent Deployment window of the Configuration wizard allows you to choose when and how you want to deploy the SQL Compliance Manager Agent to the target SQL Server instance. You can deploy the SQL Compliance Manager Agent now or later using the IDERA SQL Compliance Manager Management Console, or manually using the setup program.
If you are auditing a virtual SQL Server, you must manually deploy the SQL Compliance Manager Agent to each cluster node hosting the server. Use the Cluster Configuration Console to deploy and configure the SQL Compliance Manager Agent. For more information about installing and configuring the SQL Compliance Manager Agent for a virtual SQL Server, see Deploy the SQL Compliance Agent to cluster nodes.
If you are auditing a SQL Server instance hosted by a computer that belongs to a non-trusted domain or a workgroup, you must manually deploy the SQL Compliance Manager Agent to the host computer using the SQL Compliance Manager setup program.
Choose the deployment option that is appropriate for your environment, and then click Next.
