Custom agent installation packages

Posted: September, 02 2009

Use this task to create a custom agent installation package.

If you use a distribution method other than ePolicy Orchestrator deployment capabilities (such as login scripts or third-party deployment software), you must create a custom agent installation package (FRAMEPKG.EXE) with embedded administrator credentials if users do not have local administrator permissions. The user account credentials you embed are used to install the agent.

NOTE: For Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later operating systems do not allow embedded administrator credentials until the package file name has been added to the exception list of the Windows firewall.
