Installing an Endpoint Security Clients Package that is not Preconfigured for ATM

There are two ways to configure ATMs before installing an Endpoint Security Client package that isn’t preconfigured for them.

  • Setting a Registry key (for 64-bit Windows only)

  • Running a command

Both ways give the same result. By using software deployment tools, you can avoid configuring the ATM locally. Choose the option that best suits your organization’s convenience.

To download the package:

  1. Go to Endpoint Security Homepage.

  2. From the Client Releases Downloads section, download the Complete Endpoint Security Client package for your system (32/64 bit).

To install by setting a registry key on the ATM machines

  1. On ATM machines with 64-bit Windows, add this registry key before deploying theEndpoint Security Client:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\isATM=1 (REG_DWORD)

  2. Install the complete Endpoint Security Client from Harmony Endpoint.

To install by running a command on the ATM machines:

  1. Export the package from SmartEndpoint.

  2. Use a software deployment tool such as Microsoft SCCM or GPO to distribute the package and install the client from the command line.
    Run this command with administrator privileges:
    EPS.msi /qb ISATM=1
