Issue/Introduction

Are there best practices for mass deploying the Ghost Solution Suite DAgent on Windows computers?

Environment

Ghost Solution Suite 3.3.x

Resolution

The 'Remote Agent Installer' tool includes the option to select the 'Entire Network' when creating a list of clients for DAgent installation:

 

 

As an example, we will select 'Directory'

 

Then select the domain

 

Select Computers

 

Select all the computers under that domain and OU group

 

Select a range of computers with a select and shift key

Then click 'OK' and 'Finish'

The above example is from a domain. Other resources under Entire Network can also be queried

Another method is to use a GPO using msiexec: 

msiexec /i dagent_x64.msi /qn server_tcp_addr=SpecifyHereYourGSSserverAddress server_tcp_port=402
