ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus 8.0 :: Admin Guide
If you have enabled Agent Mode, you can deploy the agent in the Windows machine through any of
the methods given below,
� Active Directory
� AssetExplorer Application
� Manual Installation
Import from Active Directory logon script
An instant method to push the agent in all the Windows machine within a domain is through Active
Directory logon script. Instead of providing permission to all the scanned workstations for file transfer,
the agent is installed once the user logs into the machine. In addition, the agent can be deployed to all
the newly added workstations automatically on scheduling an AD Import.
To install the agent from Active Directory,
1. Create a network share like, \\MyServer\MyShare
2. Click Download Agent and run the agent.msi file.
3. Save the agent and the script in the network share.
4. In your Domain controller, click Start -> Administrative Tools -> Active Directory Users
and Computers.
5. In the console tree, right click on your domain, and select Properties.
6. Select Group Policy tab, and click Open (New) button. The Group Policy Management
window pops up.
7. Right click on the name of domain or the Organizational unit for which you would like to
configure the script. Click Create and Link a GPO Here... option.
