Enable file sharing at the System level

Enabling file sharing

Enable file sharing at the System level
Enable organization-level file sharing with the Organization component enabled
Enable file sharing without the Organization component enabled

To provision Agent software, you must enable file sharing.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, see Enable file sharing at the System level. Otherwise, see Enable file sharing without the Organization component enabled.

Enable file sharing at the System level

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you must enable file sharing at the System level to provision the Agent.

* 
NOTE: If the Organization component is not enabled on your appliance, follow the instructions in Enable file sharing without the Organization component enabled.
1.
Go to the Security Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance System Administration Console, http://appliance_hostname/system, or select System from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Control Panel.

Description

For appliances with the Organization component enabled:

Enable Organization File Shares

Use the appliance's client share to store files, such as files used to install applications on managed devices.

The appliance’s client share is a built-in Windows file server that the provisioning service can use to assist in distributing the Samba client on your network. Quest recommends that this file server only be enabled when you perform application installations on managed devices.

Require NTLMv2 authentication to appliance file shares

Enable NTLMv2 authentication for the appliance files shares. When this setting is enabled, managed devices connecting to the appliance File Shares require support for NTLMv2 and authenticate to the appliance using NTLMv2. Even though NTLMv2 is more secure than NTLM and LANMAN, non-NTLMv2 configurations are more common and this option is usually turned off. Enabling this option disables lanman auth and ntlm auth on the Samba server. NTLMv2 Levels 1-4 are supported. If you need NTLM v2 Level 5, consider manually provisioning the KACE Agent. See Manually deploying the KACE Agent.

Require NTLMv2 to off-board file shares

Force certain appliance functions that are supported through the Samba client, such as Agent Provisioning, to authenticate to offboard network file shares using NTLMv2. Even though NTLMv2 is more secure than NTLM and LANMAN, non-NTLMv2 configurations are more common and this option is usually disabled. Enabling this option enables the client ntlmv2 auth option for Samba client functions.

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.
Provision KACE Agents using the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool

You can install the KACE Agent on a single device, or on multiple devices by using the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool, starting within the Agent Provisioning Assistant. You can use this method to provision Windows devices.

•
You have an Active Directory environment.
•
You have appropriate access to set up software installations.
•
You have met the system requirement spelled out in Prepare to use the GPO Provisioning Tool for Agent deployment.

To complete this task, you leave the appliance to work in the Windows Group Policy Management Console or the Windows Administrative Tools using the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool before returning to the appliance.

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.
2.
Select the check box for Provisioning Using Windows Group Policy (recommended), and click Next to display the Agent Provisioning Assistant: Step 2 of 3 page.
3.
Click the link to the Knowledge Base article about using the appliance GPO Provisioning Tool for Agent deployment at https://support.quest.com/kb/133776.
The Knowledge Base article provides a link to download the MSI for the GPO Provisioning Tool.

Installing and starting the tool requires leaving the appliance interface.

4.
Download the MSI, and start it to install the tool.
5.
Start the installed tool from the Start menu.
The deployment wizard leads you through steps to configure and apply a GPO for software deployment. Where possible, the wizard attempts to use defaults that reduce the amount of configuration required.
* 
NOTE: Only GPOs for which you have permission to edit are displayed in the tool.
6.
Return to the Agent Provisioning: Step 2 of 3 page in the appliance when you have completed working in the tool, and click Next.
7.
Click Finish on the Agent Provisioning: Step 3 of 3 page.

Agents are installed on the client devices after the Group Policy is refreshed on those devices. Depending on the environment, this installation takes place either when the device reboots, or after a 90-minute refresh cycle occurs for the Group Policy.

Go to the Devices page to keep track of the progress of devices having the agents installed and checked in.
