Does a end-point need a agent installed

[adrianjc]

Hi ya all, 

I have a very basic question, due being sick i couldn't be in the training for the SVM installation en configuration so i've missed out on some stuff......

my question "is it necessary that every client/endpoint has a agent running to function/report/scan etc with the manager, do i need to install a agent"

Thanks in advance....

Thank you Bob for your fast response.
I was just checking because I couldn't find it so fast in the training book.
