All installation files originally downloaded to the Tanium Server must be configured to download to a location other than the Tanium Server directory.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Typically, the Tanium Server stores the Package Source Files that it downloads from the internet and server shares or files uploaded through the Tanium Console in a subdirectory of the server's installation directory called "Downloads". To ensure package files are not accessible to nonauthorized functions, the files must be relocated to outside of the server's installation directory.
