NPM - the agent
NPM with its agent deserves a more detailed explanation than
the other components—partly because it’s fundamental to NVC,
partly because it cannot be configured directly, it is invisible and
always running. The agent is the main functionality of Norman
Program Manager (NPM), described in the section starting on
page 17.

The agent’s file name is Zanda.exe—short for Zero
Administration Network Distribution Agent. The agent—and
NPM as such—is the link between those components that need to
communicate, and thus essential to NVC.
The agent resides locally, i.e. on the workstation. When
instructed by the workstation, the agent will fetch files from the
server. For example, if the configuration file specifies that the
workstation should look for updates at the server every day at
noon, it is the agent that picks up the files. In addition, the agent
will send messages from the workstation to the server.
The agent is always running.
