Windows
Option 1:
You can quickly check if the Teramind Hidden Agent is installed on a computer by looking for this folder*: C:\ProgramData\{4CEC2908-5CE4-48F0-A717-8FC833D8017A}
and the Revealed Agent is installed in: C:\ProgramData\Teramind Agent
folder. If any of these folders exists, then the Agent is Installed.
*The installation folder of the Hidden Agent can be changed with the TMROOTDIR parameter. In that case, this method will not work and you might need to use Option 2 below instead.
Option 2:
You can open the Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe
) as an admin user, then execute this command:
sc query tsvchst
If you see the following message, then the Agent is uninstalled / not running:
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
Alternatively, if you see a message like the below, then the Agent is running and working properly:
SERVICE_NAME: tsvchst
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
