Logon Agent deployment

Logon Agent is used with Windows Active Directory in native mode or mixed mode.
If you are using Logon Agent with Active Directory in native mode, and User Service resides on a Websense appliance or Linux server, WINS is required to enable transparent user identification (see WINS setup: User Service on Linux or appliance).
If your network is very large (10,000+ users or 30+ domain controllers), you may benefit from installing Logon Agent on multiple machines, particularly if you have different domains in separate subnets. This way, you have ample space for files that are continually populated with user information, and the user identification process is faster.
*
Only one instance of Logon Agent can be installed on a machine.
*
Logon Agent and DC Agent can be run on the same machine.
*
Logon Agent does not run on Websense appliances.
In most cases, you need only one Filtering Service to communicate with every instance of Logon Agent in your network. If you have installed multiple Filtering Services for load-balancing purposes, each Filtering Service must be able to communicate with every Logon Agent.
