Active Directory Deployment

Package Deployment Using Active Directory

Take advantage of Active Directory features to deploy the agent package simultaneously to multiple endpoints.

To deploy the package using Active Directory:

1. Open the Active Directory console.

2. Right-click the Organizational Unit (OU) where you want to deploy the package and click Properties.

3. On the Group Policy tab, click New.

4. Choose between Computer Configuration and User Configuration, and open Software Settings below it.

• Trend Micro recommends using Computer Configuration instead of User Configuration to ensure successful package installation regardless of which user logs on to the computer.

5. Below Software Settings, right-click Software installation, and then select New and Package.

6. Locate and select the agent package.

7. Select a deployment method and then click OK.

• Assigned: The agent package is automatically deployed the next time a user logs on to the computer (if you selected User Configuration) or when the computer restarts (if you selected Computer Configuration). This method does not require any user intervention.

• Published: To run the agent package, inform users to go to Control Panel, open the Add/Remove Programs screen, and select the option to add/install programs on the network. When the agent package displays, users can proceed to install the agent.

8. Verify that the agent was installed successfully. For details, see Agent Post-installation.
