Mass Deployment

You can use the Plurilock agent MSI file (64-bit) for bulk deployment of the agents to select users or computers. System administrators can use the MSI file to remotely deploy the Plurilock endpoint agents so that the users do not have to manually download and configure the agents.

NOTE
When deployed on a machine, the agent will auto launch for all users who log in to that machine.

You can install the agent by running the msiexec command or use the PlurilockSilentInstaller script that goes with the agent.

To install the agent from a Command Line:

• Start the Command Line as Administrator

• Run the windows installer package:

msiexec.exe /i <installer.msi> REGSERVERHOST=<https://example.domain.com> REGSERVERPORT=<1234> SITEMASTERKEY=<Master Key> SHOWHIDEICON=<1 or 0> [/L <LogFile>] [/promptrestart | /forcerestart | /norestart]

To install the agent with the PlurilockSilentInstaller script:

• Populate the fields in the CONFIG section of the script PlurilockSilentInstaller.ps1. Use the table above as a reference.

• Open the Power Shell as Administrator and run the script:

| ./PlurilockSilentInstaller.ps1

NOTE
Make sure the Plurilock agent MSI file is unblocked before attempting to deploy the agent via script. The Unblock-File command lets you to run files that were downloaded from the Internet:

Unblock-File -Path ./installer.msi
