Provisioning the KACE Agent using the GPO Provisioning Tool for Windows devices

Provisioning the KACE Agent using the GPO Provisioning Tool for Windows devices

Prepare to use the GPO Provisioning Tool for Agent deployment
Provision KACE Agents using the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool

Of the methods for provisioning the Agent on Windows devices, Quest recommends the GPO Provisioning Tool because using the tool minimizes the pre-configuration that must happen on the target devices.

The GPO Provisioning Tool uses Active Directory® and Group Policy to distribute the installation settings and to perform the installation of the Agent. The tool creates a GPO, or modifies a pre-existing GPO to install the KACE Agent when a device authenticates with Active Directory.

The first time a target device refreshes Group Policy after the tool has completed the creation or modification process, a new Group Policy client-side extension dll is registered on the devices applying this GPO. Then the next time that the device refreshes Group Policy, Windows triggers the newly registered client-side extension to install the KACE Windows Agent.

For the Quest Knowledge Base article that contains the link to download the GPO Provisioning Tool, go to https://support.quest.com/kb/133776.

Prepare to use the GPO Provisioning Tool for Agent deployment

Before you can use the GPO Provisioning Tool to deploy Agents to Windows devices, you must ensure that your system is configured to use the tool.

The following system requirements are necessary for using the GPO Provisioning Tool:

•
Windows 7 and higher: Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2012, from a computer that is running Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7.

Go to http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-client-and-windows-server-dsforum2wiki.aspx.

•
.NET Framework 3.5.
•
Windows Server 2012 or higher Active Directory Functional Level.
•
Distribution Share: Make sure to use a share that everyone can access. For example, do not place the .msi file on the NETLOGON share, because not every user can reach that share and the lack of access will cause your upgrade to fail in the future. This location should be a permanently accessible share. The installer is an MSI (Microsoft Installer) file. To uninstall or upgrade software, MSI needs access to the .msi file. If it is not accessible, msiexec will not uninstall.

Provisioning the KACE Agent using onboard provisioning

Provisioning the KACE Agent using onboard provisioning

Preparing to install the KACE Agent
Install the KACE Agent on a device or multiple devices

You can install the KACE Agent on multiple devices by specifying a range of IP addresses as targets for deployment (onboard provisioning). Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux devices can be targets for onboard provisioning.

After you have prepared each of your target client devices, you use the Agent Provisioning Assistant in the appliance to identify the devices and set up a provisioning schedule.

Preparing to install the KACE Agent

Before you install the KACE Agent on devices using onboard provisioning, you must verify system requirements, enable file sharing, and prepare devices.

For information on file sharing, see Enabling file sharing.

Verifying system requirements for the KACE Agent installation

Before you install the KACE Agent on devices, verify that the required ports are accessible, and that managed devices meet system requirements.

Managed devices must meet the following system requirements and be able to access the required ports:

•
See the Technical Specifications available on the product documentation page: https://support.quest.com/kace-systems-management-appliance/technical-documents.
•
See Verifying port settings, NTP service, and website access.
Prepare Windows devices to have the Agent installed

Before you install the KACE Agent on Windows devices, you must configure file sharing and User Account Control (UAC) properly.

•
Prepare a Windows 7 or Windows 8 device

Provide Administrator credentials for each device. To install the KACE Agent on multiple devices, the Administrator credentials must be the same for all devices.

To configure User Account Control (UAC), do one of the following:

◦
Set User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode to Disabled. This option is recommended, because it is more secure and can be centrally configured using GPO. To find this setting, open the Group Policy (type secpol.msc into the Search programs and files field under the Start menu), then go to Local Policies > Security Options. Restart the device after applying the settings.
◦
Disable UAC. On Windows 7, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Action Center > Change User Account Control Settings. On Windows 8, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy, then in Security Options in the Local Policies section choose Disabled for each of the items labeled User Account Control.

On the Advanced Sharing Settings page, enable network discovery and file and printer sharing.

•
Prepare Windows Firewall
If Windows Firewall is enabled, you must enable File and Print Sharing in the Exceptions list of the Firewall Configuration. For instructions, see the Microsoft Support website.
•
Verify port availability
Verify the availability of ports 139 and 445.

The appliance verifies the availability of ports 139 and 445 on target devices before attempting to run any remote installation procedures.

* 
NOTE: On Windows devices, ports 139 and 445, File and Print Sharing, and Administrator credentials are required only during Agent installation. You can disable access to these ports and services after installation if necessary. The Agent uses port 443 for ongoing communications.
NOTE: After installation, the Agent runs within the context of the Local System Account, which is a built-in account used by Windows operating systems.
Install the KACE Agent on a device or multiple devices

You can install the KACE Agent on a single device, or on multiple devices by specifying a range of IP addresses as targets for installation, using the Agent Provisioning Assistant. You can use this method to provision Windows, Mac, or Linux devices.

•
You have prepared all the target devices. See Preparing to install the KACE Agent.
•
You have information for the administrator account that has the necessary privileges to install Agents on the target devices.

With the Agent Provisioning Assistant, you can create provisioning schedules to specify how and when to install the KACE Agent on devices in your network. Provisioning according to a schedule is useful to help ensure that devices in an IP address range have the Agent installed.

Provisioning schedules configure the appliance to periodically check devices in a specified IP address range and install, reinstall, or uninstall the KACE Agent as needed.

For provisioning Windows devices, you can also use the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool. Using the tool minimizes the pre-configuration that must happen on the target device. See Provisioning the KACE Agent using the GPO Provisioning Tool for Windows devices.

1.
Go to the Agent Provisioning Assistant:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Provisioning.
c.
On the Provisioning panel, click Agent Provisioning Assistant.
The Agent Provisioning Assistant: Step 1 of 3 page appears.

◦
Enable Expiration: If you want this token to be valid for a limited time, select this check box, and specify the expiration date and time, as required. To change the specified date and time, click Clear, and provide the new expiration deadline.
◦
Enable Use Limit: If you want to specify the number of times the token can be used to register one or more agents with the appliance, select this check box, and in the field that appears, specify the maximum use count. Unless an agent's history is deleted from the appliance, the agent registers with the appliance only once, so this number represents the total number of times one or more agents can register with the appliance.
3.
Click Save.

If you do not select an Agent token, when the Agent connects to the appliance for the first time, it remains in the quarantine list until the appliance administrator approves its connection request. For more information, see Registering KACE Agent with the appliance.

Credentials

Separate rows for the credentials needed to connect to the device and run commands for the particular platform targeted by the schedule. The first column contains the operating system. The second column contains the Agent Version in place for installation. The third column contains a drop-down list from which to select existing credentials.
