The coexistence utility runs the Scout plug-in to scan the computer for SurfControl Web Filter for Windows registry keys and executables at the end of a 
Privileged Access Manager
installation and whenever the utility runs, as follows:
  • Queries the following registry key for existence:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Scscout.Exe
    If the registry key exists, the plug-in:
    • Reads the value of the Path entry
    • Returns the following executable pathname:
      FilePathFromRegistry\scoutsvc.exe
    • Creates a SPECIALPGM resource of type DCM
      This is the default action as defined in the response file.
The response file determines the default action that the coexistence utility performs at prescribed stages (what to do before 
Privileged Access Manager
installation, after installation, and so on).
