Technical Tip : FSAE - How to locate the DCagent service ?
Description
This article describes where is the DCagent service and why it can’t be found in the list of regular windows services
Scope
FSAE, DCagent, AD
Solution
The reason is that there is no service for DCagent.
The DCagent is a dll file which is copied to %windir%\system32 folder and is named dcagent.dll
This DLL file is loaded when windows boots up and it intercepts all logon events processed by this Domain controller to send them to the collector agent (CA).
This is how to verify that the DCagent is installed properly :
1. Check that DCagent.dll exists in %windir%\system32 folder :
2. Check that the registry key exists :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fortinet\FSAE\dcagent]
