Enroll Windows Devices using Auto Discovery and Deployment Tool


  • You can use the auto-deployment tool to install the Endpoint Manager communication and security clients on target endpoints.
  • By installing the clients you will enroll the endpoints to Endpoint Manager.
  • You first need to create client installation files using the 'Bulk Installation Package' interface in 'Devices'.

Note - The user of the device should already have been added to Endpoint Manager. You can download installation packages only for existing users.


Download ADDT and installation packages

  • Click 'Devices' > 'Bulk Installation Package'
  • Each installation package is custom-created for a specific user, customer, group, operating system etc.
  • Complete the fields in the form to generate your custom package:

 

Bulk Installation Package - Form Parameters

Parameter

Description

User

Specify the user to whom the target endpoints are assigned.

  • Start typing the name of a user and choose from the suggestions that appear.

Customer

Choose the company to which the endpoints should be assigned.

  • This field only applies to ITarian MSP customers. It does not apply to ITarian Enterprise, or EM stand-alone customers

Device Group

The device group to which the enrolled devices should be added (optional).


Any group profiles will also be applied to the devices you add.


See Assign Configuration Profiles to a Device Group if you want more help with this.

Package Options

 Operating system – Select 'Windows'

  • Choose platform – Select Windows OS version (64 bit, 32 bit or hybrid package)

Clients:

  • Communication Client (CCC) - Mandatory. This client enrolls the endpoint.
  • Comodo Client Security (CCS) – Optional. This client installs security software such as antivirus, firewall and auto-containment.

Additional Options:

  • Database - Choose whether to include the latest virus database with the installation package. This increases file size. If disabled, the client will download the latest database anyway when you run the first scan.
  • Profile - Choose a configuration profile for the endpoints (optional).
  • Type the first few characters of a profile and choose from the suggestions that appear.

If you do not choose a profile then the default profiles for the operating system will be applied.


Tip: You can add or remove profiles later. See View and Manage Profiles Associated with a Device for more details.

Restart Control Options

CCS only. Endpoints need to be restarted to complete CCS installation. You have the following restart options:

  • Force the reboot in...- Restart the endpoint a certain length of time after installation. Select the delay period from the drop-down. A warning message will be shown to the user prior to the restart.
  • Suppress reboot - Endpoint is not auto-restarted. The installation will be finalized when the user next restarts the endpoint.
  • Warn about reboot and let users postpone it - Shows a message to the user which tells them that the endpoint needs to be restarted. The user can choose when the restart happens.
Optional. Type a custom message in the 'Reboot Message' field.

UI Options

Configure which messages are shown to the user regarding the installation.

  • Show error messages if installation failed - Notifies the user if the installation is not successful.

  • Show a confirmation message upon completion of installation – Notifies the user if the installation is successful. Type your message in the box provided.

Proxy Settings

Leave these blank as these settings are not required for offline installation packages.
  • Click 'Download Installer' when you have completed the form.

  • You will now download TWO items:

    1. The installation package. This will have a name like 'installer_2dr846534e83.exe'

    2. The Auto-Deployment tool (ADDT). This tool helps you deploy the installation package to your network:




ADDT is a portable app which does not require installation. ADDT lets you deploy the clients via Active Directory, Workgroup or network address.
