Deploying FortiClient on endpoints

Deploying FortiClient on endpoints

Before you can successfully deploy a FortiClient installation from FortiClient EMS using an AD server, you must have prepared the AD server. See Preparing the AD server for deployment.

  1. Add the AD server to FortiClient EMS by adding a domain. See Adding endpoints using an AD domain server.
  2. Add a FortiClient deployment package to FortiClient EMS. See Adding a FortiClient deployment package.
  3. Add a profile, select the FortiClient deployment package, and configure FortiClient features in the profile. See Creating a profile to deploy FortiClient.
  4. Create an endpoint policy that is configured with desired profile. Configure the endpoint policy to apply to a branch of the AD domain to push the FortiClient installation process on the endpoints. See Adding an endpoint policy.
  5. Verify the deployment by monitoring FortiClient connections to the FortiClient EMS.
