Computer Browser Screen

For information about version compatibility, see the Version Equivalencies Between Forcepoint DLP and EIP Infrastructure/Web/Email Components.

This installer screen appears if all the following are true:
  • Installing User Service, DC Agent, or Logon Agent on Windows Server
  • Using Active Directory
  • Windows Computer Browser service is not currently running.

    Choose whether to start this service and then click Next.

The Computer Browser service is a Windows utility that must be set to Automatic and Start in the Windows Services tool for user identification components to communicate with Active Directory.

Note: If you choose to start the Computer Browser service now, make sure the Computer Browser service is enabled on this machine. In most cases, it is disabled by default. The installer will attempt to start the service and configure it to start up automatically from now on. If the service is disabled, the installer will be unable to start it.

If you choose not to have the installer start the service, or if the installer is unable to start it, you must start it manually after installation. If you use Active Directory to authenticate users, you must also start the Computer Browser service on the Active Directory machine. See Turning on the Computer Browser service.
