I've been looking through the archives and I see that new 2.6 version has "agent-auth" which allows one to automatically create and setup the agent keys. The instructions for setting up the agents appears that "agent-auth" can only be used for a Unix/Linux agent and not a Windows agent, is this correct?
I'm currently running server 2.5 and agents 2.5.1. If I install a 2.6 server will my 2.5.1 agents still work properly or do I need to upgrade them to 2.6? What I'm trying to do is package and deploy the OSSEC agent (along with OSSEC server IP authentication key) to a number of Windows servers. I've been following the instructions by Phil Shramko (http://philipshramko.blogspot.com/) but I've been running into some issues with the packaged .msi file which I created not installing on the target Windows machine. Get the following error message: CUSTOM ACTION "WrapInstall 1_I" FAILED (could not start it). LOCATION: C:\windows\Installer\MSI1384.tmp, COMMAND: /S I was wondering if anyone has followed Phil's instructions and successfully deployed an .msi file which included the OSSEC server IP and authentication key. Ideally I would have the .msi file packaged and then have the sysadmin deploy it via GPO to the specific servers, but I'm looking for any alternatives as well. Thanks.
