This article will show you how to deploy a remote computer using Group Policy (GP) with MSI file.
When multiple computers under a domain need to use AnyViewer, you can batch deploy AnyViewer to remote computers using Group Policy (GP) with MSI file. To achieve this, please create a Group Policy Object(GPO), move AnyViewer MSI package to a shared network folder, and publish the GPO to all the computers across the domain. The MSI file is available only for AnyViewer Enterprise users. Prerequisites for remote MSI deployment:
Step 1. Create a Shared folder on a File Share Server or any computer under the domain, and configure Everyone read permission so that remote computers can access the shared folder. (1) Right-click Folder, click “Properties” from the drop menu, then click Share to set share for the folder.
(2) When you create the share, please configure Everyone with read permission, and click Share to create.
Step 2. Download AnyViewer.msi to the shared folder.
Note: please first check and confirm if the domain account of remote computers can access the shared folder. You can press Win+R on a remote computer, then type into the share path to check if you can open and access the path without any login credential.
