Agent remote control

DriveLock allows you to connect to a remote computer that already has DriveLock Agent installed and running. This is useful, for example, if you want to allow temporary access to a drive class on a remote computer or to check the current status of your agents. You can also display inventory data that has been previously collected, for example, or start a hardware and software inventory manually.

DriveLock uses HTTPS protocol by default to connect to remote computers. To connect to a remote computer, DriveLock must be installed on the remote computer. To connect to a computer, incoming connections from TCP port 6065 and the "DriveLock" program must be allowed in the firewall settings. The HTTP protocol with port 6064 is not recommended.

You must define permissions in order to perform remote control actions on DriveLock Agents. These are defined in the Agent remote control settings and permissions.

Agent remote control is not available when you use the Group Policy Editor to edit a DriveLock group policy. With a locally installed DriveLock Management Console, you can use agent remote control and connect to DriveLock agents configured via group policy, for example.
