Before you install CA DLP on your client machines, note the following issues.
To simplify mass deployments, you can bulk create new client machine accounts and pre-assign machines to parent servers in advance of the CA DLP rollout. This enables you to deploy multiple client machines using a single source image (which identifies a single parent server) whilst ensuring that each client machine automatically connects to its 'correct' parent server immediately after installation.
To bulk create new accounts, you use the Account Import feature to import the client machine details from a CSV file.
CA DLP is designed to operate across subnets. If some or all of your client machines are on a separate subnet to your CMS, computer name resolution must work in both directions.
On Windows XP machines, the Client File System Agent requires SP2 or later; see Client machines.
The firewall setting ‘Don’t allow exceptions’ must be turned off on the target machine. For details about CA DLP and this firewall, see Windows XP and 2003.
You must close down all applications that support printing before installing the CPSA (for example, any Microsoft Office application). This ensures that, after installation, the CPSA will be able to detect print jobs sent from these applications. (If an application is already running when you install the CPSA, it will be unable to detect print jobs sent subsequently from that application.)
If you anticipate your users printing .EMF files (a Windows graphics file format) directly from Windows Explorer, you will need to restart the client machine after installing the CPSA to ensure that it can fully control attempts to print these files.
