The Auvik Endpoint Agent software supports Windows Server 2016 and newer.

The installer is the same for servers and workstations. The software is delivered in a multi-stage fashion: an initial lightweight MSI installation package registers a background service with the Windows operating system. A separate stage then begins without any user action, which securely downloads and installs feature-specific modules to be registered and run separately from the original lightweight installer.

After successful installation, program files will be located under C:\Program Files\Auvik\.
