Technical Overview

Deployment Studio Express implements a client/server model and is comprised of two separate components: The Agent Service and the Client Management Console.

The Agent Service
The Agent Service runs as a Windows Service and resides on the target machines. By default the Agent Service uses TCP port 8080 to communicate with the Client Management Console, but the application can be configured to use any valid TCP port.

The Client Management Console
The Client Management Console is a Windows desktop application which controls the Agent Services installed on the target servers.
