Mobile Client Deployment to Windows Computers
Deployment to a group
The modified 8e6client.msi file is distributed to multiple
Windows workstations using Windows Group Policy by
creating a Group Policy Object (GPO) that assigns this soft-
ware to the required computers on the network.
NOTE: The procedure suggested below presumes that you are
using the free add-on Group Policy Management Console
(GPMC) provided by Microsoft.
1. Make the distribution .msi file available to the target
workstations on a network share (e.g. \\{server-
name}\8e6MobileClient\8e6client.msi) .
2. Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO):
a. in the GPMC, select Group Policy Management >
Forest > Domains > {domain name} > Group Policy
Objects.
b. Right-click and choose "New", then create a name for
the policy (suggested name: "8e6 Mobile Client
Deployment"). Click OK.
c. In the Group Policy Object Editor, open the {policy
name} > Computer Configuration > Software
Settings > Software installation node.
d. Click the right panel and choose New > Package.
Navigate to the distribution .msi file you shared in step
1, and then click "Open". When prompted, select
"Assigned" for the deployment method. Click OK.
e. Right-click the new package and choose Properties >
Deployment, and then check the "Uninstall this appli-
cation when it falls out of the scope of management"
box. Click OK.
f. Close the Group Policy Object Editor.
