  • Create a new GPO and add all client devices on which you want to deploy Endpoint to the GPO.
  • In the GPMC console tree, navigate to GPO Server > GPO-share, and then copy and paste the Endpoint package to the GPO-share folder. Note that GPO-share is a shared folder for the client devices.
  • Check your client devices to ensure that no previous versions of BloxOne Endpoint were installed. Remove all older versions if they exist.
  • In the GPMC, navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software Installation.
