Add Windows Remote Workstation, Not on Domain
To add a remote Windows workstation that is not and will not be part of your Active Directory domain, follow the steps below:
Set Up Host in Management UI
Follow the steps from the Add Test Connection documentation until you get to the Tunnel page of the Add Endpoint Wizard. On this page, do the following:
-
Adjust the IP address ranges listed in the Except for field on left side of the page to include the networks or hosts at the remote workstation’s site that the workstation needs to access (if necessary).
Also, if you will need to access the workstation over RDP (or other remote-access system) to install the agent, also include the IP address of your own administrative workstation from the perspective of the remote workstation (for example if the public IP address of the Internet access point used by your admin workstation is
198.51.100.123
, add198.51.100.123/32
to the Except for field). -
Adjust the IP addresses listed in the WireGuard Address fields on the right side of the page if you have selected a specific set of addresses for the workstation, or if you have already assigned the suggested addresses to some other computer.
-
Click the Next button. This will take you to the Extras page of the Add Endpoint Wizard.
-
Select Private for the Firewall Zone dropdown.
-
Select the Use custom DNS settings when tunnel is up option, and make sure the DNS Server list includes DNS resolvers to which the remote workstation will be able to connect through the ACSC network.
-
Click the Next button. This will take you to the Review page of the Add Endpoint Wizard.
-
Click the Apply button. This will add the workstation to the ACSC network.
-
Click the Set Up Agent icon on the Point panel on the right side of the page. This will take you to the Set Up page for the workstation.
-
Click the acsc.conf and acsc-setup.conf links. This will download the unique
acsc.conf
andacsc-setup.conf
files for the workstation.
Install Agent on Host
To install the ACSC agent on the workstation, perform the following steps on the workstation as an Administrator user:
-
Create a new
C:\Program Files\Anti-Cloud\Secure Connect\agent\cnf\
directory on the workstation. -
Copy the workstation’s unique
acsc.conf
andacsc-setup.conf
files you downloaded above into this directory on the workstation. -
Copy the agent’s MSI (Microsoft Installer) package to the workstation, and execute it.
-
If the PowerShell execution policy on the workstation is

, change its policy toRemoteSigned
(orAllSigned
):PS> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
