Deploying FortiClient on endpoints

Before you can successfully deploy a FortiClient installation from FortiClient EMS using an AD server, you must have prepared the AD server. See Preparing the AD server for deployment.

To deploy FortiClient by using AD servers
  1. Add the AD server to FortiClient EMS by adding a domain. See Adding endpoints using an Active Directory domain server.
  2. Add a FortiClient installer package to FortiClient EMS. See Adding FortiClient installers.
  3. Add a profile, select the FortiClient installer package, and configure FortiClient features in the profile. See Creating profiles to deploy FortiClient.
  4. Assign the profile to a branch of the AD domain to push the FortiClient installation process on the endpoints. See Assigning profiles.
  5. Verify the deployment by monitoring FortiClient connections to the FortiClient EMS.
