Chapter 3: Managing Endpoints
Deployment options
Deploy the
SecureAnywhere
executable file
Deploy the SecureAnywhere installer file using one of these
methods:
l
Manually install the executable file on each endpoint.
l
Send emails to end users, so they can install the software
by clicking on the link provided in the email template.
l
Rename the executable file using your keycode. (The
email template also provides a renamed executable file
with the keycode.)
l
Use additional commands with the executable file to
deploy it in the background.
l
Use command-line options with the installer to deploy to
endpoints that are behind a proxy server.
Use MSI
deployment options
Deploy the SecureAnywhere installer file using the Microsoft
Installer (MSI).
Use Windows
Group Policy
Object (GPO)
Deploy the SecureAnywhere installer file using GPO (Group
Policy Object). You should have experience with Microsoft’s
Active Directory and the Group Policy Object editor.
Tip: If you have a small network with less than 100 endpoints, we recommend that you use the simple
deployment options described in the Resources tab. If you have a large network and use Active
Directory, you should use the advanced deployment options. For large networks, you may also want to
organize endpoints into separate consoles for simplified views into smaller groups (see "Adding
consoles to your account" on page 44).
3. Deploy SecureAnywhere to the endpoints, as described in one of these sections:
l "Using the SecureAnywhere installer" on page 52.
l
"Using MSI for deployment" on page 57.
l
"Using GPO for deployment" on page 58.
4. Check the Management Portal to make sure the endpoints have reported their status. See "Viewing
endpoint status" on page 82.
All endpoints are first assigned to your default policy and a default group. You can change those
assignments later, if desired. See "Implementing policies" on page 88 and "Applying a policy to endpoint
groups" on page 124.
