Deploy via GPO
To deploy Web Endpoint via Group Policy Object (GPO):
1.
Create a shared folder on the domain controller and set its permissions to read-only.
2.
Use a text editor to create a batch file (.bat) in the shared folder (for example installwebep.bat).
3.
Type the following msiexec command into the batch file:
msiexec /package "\\<path>\Websense Endpoint.msi" /quiet /norestart WSCONTEXT=<value>
In your file, replace:
*
<path> with the actual path to the Websense Endpoint.msi file
*
<value> with the WSCONTEXT string shown on the Settings > Hybrid Configuration > Hybrid User Identification page
4.
Save and close the file.
5.
Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and create a new (or open an existing) GPO for the OU in which your computer accounts reside. To create a new GPO:
a.
In the console tree, right-click Group Policy Objects in the forest and domain in which you want to create a Group Policy object (GPO).
b.
Click New.
c.
In the New GPO dialog box, specify a name for the new GPO, then click OK.
6.
Navigate to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts, then double-click Startup in the right pane.
7.
Click Add.
8.
In the Script Name field, type the full network path and file name of the batch file you created in step 2, then click OK and close the GPMC.
9.
Run the gpupdate /force command from a command prompt to refresh the group policy.
The application is installed on startup. The client may not be fully functional until a reboot occurs.
Deploy to a single machine
1.
Copy the endpoint client installation file to a temporary folder on the client machine, then unzip the file.
2.
Open a command prompt, then navigate to the location of the unzipped endpoint client files.
3.
Enter the following command:
msiexec /package "Websense Endpoint.msi" /norestart WSCONTEXT=xxxx
Replace "xxxx" with the unique configuration code shown on the Settings > Hybrid Configuration > Hybrid User Identification page in the Web Security manager. The code is shown as part of the GPO command string.
