Automatic Client Deployment: Deployment

Automatic Client Deployment enables Vector AM to search your network for PCs where the Client is not installed, and to automatically deploy the Client or perform one-shot audits on those PCs. Use the Deployment tab to specify the settings you want Vector AM to use for these deployments, and the criteria which Vector AM can use to identify eligible PCs.

To enable Automatic Client Deployment:

1    Select Configure Automatic Client Deployment in the Console's Client Deployment & Maintenance folder. The Automatic Client Deployment dialog is displayed.

2    Select the Enable Automatic Deployment check box.

3    Click the upper Add button and select the profile you want to use to control the deployment in the Deployment Profiles dialog. The profile is displayed in the Active Profiles list:

    If the Profile you selected has no Inclusion Filter assigned to it, a warning message is displayed. Click OK, enter the Client identification criteria you want to use in the Inclusion Filter dialog, and click OK.

    If the Profile you selected already has one or more Inclusion Filters assigned to it, the details are displayed in the filters list.

To add more Inclusion Filters to the profile, click the lower Add button.

4    Click Move up or Move down to adjust the priority of the profile.

5    Select the Exclusions tab to specify any nodes that must be omitted from all deployments.
