Preparing Windows endpoints for FortiClient deployment

The following services must be enabled and configured on each Windows endpoint before FortiClient is deployed to them:

  • Task Scheduler: Automatic
  • Windows Installer: Manual
  • Remote Registry: Automatic

The Windows Firewall must be configured to allow the following inbound connections:

  • File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)
  • Remote Scheduled Tasks Management (RPC)

For AD group deployments, an AD administrator account is required. For non-AD deployments, the installer URL can be shared with users, who can then download and install FortiClient manually. You can locate the installer URL in Software Management. Go to Administration > Software Management.
