MSI Deployment via Active Directory

Active Directory contains a very useful feature that allows for Administrators to automatically deploy a software to computers when the computer is booted or an user logs on. This feature allows to deploy the software to a set of computers in which the user needn't a local administrator rights, ie. deploys the MSI package into the computers via the Computer Configuration GPO setting.

The MSI package of the TrustPort Management is automatically created during the installation or upgrade of the TrustPort Management server. During the installation or upgrade proccess there is created in the installation directory a special directory named Deploy. There are two files in these directory. The first one is named tpmclient.exe and it's a default installation file used by the remote installation. The second file is named tpmclient.msi and it's a MSI deployment package that you must use for deploying via Active Directory.
