AD deployment of the provconnect agent
AD requirements
target devices must be present in OU.
GPO creation in the Group Policy Management
We make a new GPO « InstallAgentProv » applied on the OU that contains the target devices
It is crucial that Security Filtering allows the installation on devices, and not on named users.
The group « Authenticated Users » contains user groups and devices, so it's a convenient group to use for the task
GPO details
There is two distinct actions :
- the agent file deployment
- the execution of a .bat file to install the agent
Agent file installer deployment
You need to add an action in Computer Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Files.
the setup path must be a network path
The installation path is up to the administrator, but he must use the same path in the script .bat at step number 2.

Checkboxes must be unchecked |

This is the final result for the step 1
Installation script .bat
