Using a third-party deployment tool for Windows
Remote Filtering Software | Web Security Solutions | Versions 7.7, 7.8
Before deploying Remote Filtering Client, make sure that the Remote Filtering Server to which these clients will connect has been correctly installed on a separate machine. See Installing Remote Filtering Server on Windows.
1.
Locate a customized Remote Filtering Client installation package (see Customizing the client installation package).
2.
If you are using a tool like GPO and want to deploy a MSI file rather than an EXE file, use a file compression tool like 7-Zip, WinZip, or WinRAR to extract the contents of the installation package.
This exposes the Websense Endpoint.msi file and its support files.
3.
Use a third-party deployment tool (such as Microsoft GPO or SMS) to deploy the installation package to Windows clients. For example:
*
EXE file:
WebsenseEndpoint_32bit.exe /v"/quiet /norestart"
*
MSI file:
msiexec /package /v"\\path\Websense Endpoint.msi" /quiet
/norestart
Here, "path" is the full path to the directory containing the MSI and its support files.
 
* 
Warning 
Do not install Remote Filtering Client on machines running Remote Filtering Server. That combination eventually causes filtering to fail.
Supported installation parameters include:
/v
Used to pass arguments that affect endpoint client deployment.
Note that the arguments must be enclosed in straight quotes.
/quiet
Install the endpoint client in the background, without prompting the end user.
/norestart
Do not restart the client machine when the endpoint client has finished installing.
