Agent push installation

Use the DriveLock push installation to manually or automatically install the DriveLock Agent on end users' client computers (target computers).

To perform push installation, the DriveLock Enterprise Service (DES) periodically checks that all computers from the configured AD groups / OUs have a DriveLock Agent installed. On computers where DriveLock is not installed yet, the administrator can go to the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC), select Configuration and then Deployment and start the installation manually.

When using automatic push installation, you can configure the DriveLock Agent installation to work for configured AD groups and OUs. The DES determines the associated computers from the AD and triggers the push installation for computers that do not yet have DriveLock.

The administrator can also trigger the manual push installation from the DOC for individual computers independently of AD groups / OUs.

To do a push installation, the DriveLock Update Service (DlUpdSvc) is copied to the computer via administrative access, then it is installed and started. Next, the DlUpdSvc retrieves the currently released installation package via the DES and performs the agent installation.

The push installation will only start if both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the DriveLock agent is available in the software packages published in the test and production environment.
