You can install a RealSecure Server Sensor on a box that has Network Sensor(s), but 
the Server Sensor must be installed without the network monitoring components.

This is documented in the Network Sensor Installation Guide at 
http://documents.iss.net/literature/RealSecure/RS_NetSensor_IG_7.0.pdf on PDF page 9

Here's the excerpt:

"You can also install server sensor on the same computer to
provide additional protection and to concurrently monitor your network."

Subject: [ISSForum] Installing HIDS on a NIDS Server


We currently use 'hardened' W2K servers for our Real Secure Network Sensors.
I was wondering the opinion of the forum on installing Real Secure Server
Sensor on the boxes that the Network Sensors are running. I know from my
experience in training that during installation you are warned against
running both sensors on the same box unless you are in a lab setting. I am
concerned that our NIDS servers are unprotected even though we have harden
them as much as you can a Microsoft product. 

Has anyone tried this configuration with success?

Are there alternative HIDS products that I can use on these boxes if this
proves impractical?


Thank You,
