Deployment of Infraon Agent from Active Directory via Group Policy

Pre-requisites

1. Download Infraon Agent & copy it in the Network Path as highlighted below.

Note: Please enable authenticated sharing.

2. Download the ORCA database table editor and install it on the same server where Infraon Agent is copied. Use the network path used to pass the parameter for the MSI agent.

3. Navigate to the 'Download Inventory Agent' page of Infraon and copy the 'Agent Token' given here. This unique key, also called an Org Key or Organization Key, is generated specifically for your organization.

Now, you are all set to deploy the Infraon agent.

Deployment

Follow the below steps to enter the ORG_KEY in the MSI agent.

Step 1: Right-click on the Agent. Select Edit with Orca and click Yes to run the ORCA application.

Step 2: Open Orca. From the menu, select Transform -> New Transform.

Step 3: Find the keyword "ORG_KEY" using Ctrl+F.

Step 4: Paste the Organization Key in the target space provided. (Refer to the pre-requisite section for details).

Note: Add the org key directly. No prefix is required.

Step 5: Select Transform -> Generate Transform from the menu and save the file in the same network path where Infraon Agent is copied. This time, use a different name.

Note: The file type must be Windows Installer Transform (.mst)

Step 6: Connect to your AD Server. Open Server Manager -> Tools -> Active Directory Users and Computers

Step 7: Before deploying the agent, it is important to determine whether you are installing it at the computer or user configuration levels within the Group Policy Management editor. This can be determined based on your requirements.

For example, we have taken 'infinity' as an OU (Operation Unit). Under this OU, we have added two users to the Software-Deployment Group, which is bound by the GPO.

Step 8: Navigate to Group Policy Management. Right-click on the selected OU and select 'Create a New GPO in this domain, and Link it here...', add a name for the GPO, and click OK. In this case, we have named it 'Software Deployment'.

Step 9: Go to the "Delegation Tab" in the Group Policy Management window and verify whether the users or computers selected in the previous step have been added.

Note: Use the 'Add' button in the Security Filtering within the 'Scope' tab. Additionally, right-click on the GPO and ensure it is 'Enforced.'

Step 10: Right-click on the New GPO and click Edit. The new GPO property window will open as shown below:

Step 11: Right-click on the New GPO. Select -> Properties -> Browse and select the Infraon Agent Network Path,". Ensure that "Advanced" is selected for 'New Packages' & "Basic" is selected for the 'Installation user interface option.' Click 'Ok'.

Step 12: Right-click on the new GPO link. Select New -> Package... and map the Infraon Agent in the Network Path.

Step 13: A new Properties window will appear once the file is updated.

a) Navigate to the "Deployment" tab, and select the highlighted options.

b) Next, navigate to the "Modification Tab and click Add.

c) Add the .mst file saved in the network path as shown below, and click OK.

With this, the installation of the Infraon agent in the server is complete.

Step 14: The IT administrators must instruct the users to run the Group Policy Update command & restart the device.

Open command prompt

Type 'gpupdate /force' and enter

Once the process is complete, restart the device.

Step 15: Log in to the device. Open Programs and Features, and verify if "Infraon Agent" is installed.

You have successfully installed the Infraon agent on your device.
