This chapter contains information and procedures for deploying Endpoint Security clients to endpoint computers.

• For clients on Windows, you can use one of these deployment strategies:
  • Automatic (recommended) - Use Software Deployment rules to automatically download and install pre-configured packages on endpoint computers. Define deployment rules and manage deployments using SmartEndpoint. See the status of all deployments in the Reporting tab. See Automatic Deployment Overview
  • Manual - Export Software Blade packages from the Endpoint Security Management Server to endpoint clients using third party deployment software, a shared network path, email or other method. You can only see the deployment status after the package is successfully installed. See Working with Software Blade Packages for Export.
• For clients on Mac, see Deploying Mac Clients.
