Automatic Deployment Overview

When you deploy Endpoint Security clients with automatic deployment, we recommend that you install two deployment packages on endpoint clients:

1. Initial Client -This package includes the Endpoint Agent that communicates with the Endpoint Security Management Server. This must be distributed manually through an exported package.
2. Software Blade Package - This package includes the specified Software Blades to be installed on the endpoint client. It can be distributed automatically with Software Deployment rules.

For manual deployment and upgrades, install the Software Blade Package. Do not install the Initial Client first.

You can configure the policies for the Software Blades before or after you deploy the Software Blade package.

Note - Endpoint users must have administrator rights on their computers to install the packages. For Windows versions higher than XP, users must run the package with the Run as Administrator option.
