Confirming that the Windows agent is running

After you install the agents, the Symantec DLP Agent service automatically starts on each endpoint. Log on to the Enforce Server and go to
System > Agents > Overview
. Verify that the newly installed or upgraded agents are registered (that the services appear in the list).
The watchdog service is deployed with the DLP Agent on Windows endpoints. The watchdog is a service that ensures that the DLP Agent is running and active. This relationship is reciprocal. If the DLP Agent does not receive regular requests from the watchdog service, it automatically restarts the watchdog service. This reciprocal relationship ensures that the DLP Agent is always running and active.
Users cannot stop the watchdog service on their workstations. Preventing users from stopping the watchdog service allows the DLP Agent to remain active on the endpoint.
