Checkmk Werk 11853: Windows agent uses separate script to protect own files from unathorized access

ID: 11853 Title: Windows agent uses separate script to protect own files from unathorized access Component: Checks & agents Level: 2 Class: Bug fix Version: 2.1.0i1 Previously, the protection algorithm was hard-coded into the Windows agent and it was called synchronously. Such approach may lead to some rare but important problems, because the start of the Windows agent service required a lot of time and Windows service manager may not accept this delay. Since this release Windows agent uses batch script, which runs in a separate and independent process. This script provides the identical functionality as before, but it doesn't interfere with Windows agent service thus solving the problem with delay.
