Deploying the Software Blade Package with Deployment Rules

Software Deployment rules let you manage Software Blade Package deployment and updates using SmartEndpoint. The Default Policy rule applies to all endpoint clients for which no other rule in the Rule Base applies. You can change the default policy as necessary.

You can define more rules to customize the deployment of Software Blades to groups of endpoint computers with different criteria, such as:

• Specified Organizational Units (OUs) and Active Directory nodes
• Specified computers
• Specified Endpoint Security Virtual Groups, such as the predefined Virtual Groups (“All Laptops”, “All Desktops”, and others.). You can also define your own Virtual Groups.

You must install an Initial Client on endpoint computers before you can deploy Software Blades with automatic software deployment.
