Policy Auditor Agent deployment

[dixonre]

Hi there,

I have been recently looking at the policy auditor.

On most workstatiosn there is a Policy Auditor Agent presetn but on others there isn't one.

I need to deploy this to the missing machines but cannot find out how to do this through ePO.

Has anyone got any ideas of how to deploy the Policy Auditor Agent through ePO?

Thanks

Hi dixonre, you can run an automated task that would run a Computers without Policy Auditor query and run a client task to deploy it as a subaction

Maybe I should have elaborated more. I have had a look at deploy agent, client taks etc. But I cannot see any option to deploy Policy Agent anywhere. It is like it is not listed as a product to deploy. But we do have it as it is present on the majority of the workstations.

First of all you should check under your master repository if Policy Auditor client is already checked in.

After this you need to know if a Policy Auditor Agent Deploy task is created under client task catalog and edit it to check if the needed package is selected, then you can try to deploy it to some computers to test it

Thank you very much. As always very helpful advice. Just one more quick question, will the install only take effect after the workstation is restarted? or is it a silent install that will take effect before a restart?
