Preparing Windows endpoints for FortiClient deployment
You must enable and configure the following services on each Windows endpoint before deploying FortiClient to them:
- Task Scheduler: Automatic
- Windows Installer: Manual
- Remote Registry: Automatic

You must configure the Windows Firewall to allow the following inbound connections:
|
AD group deployments require an AD administrator account. For non-AD deployments, you can share the installer URL with users, who can then download and install FortiClient manually. You can locate the installer URL in Manage Installers. Go to Profile Components > Manage Installers.

When adding endpoints using an AD domain server, FortiClient EMS automatically resolves endpoint IP addresses during initial deployment of FortiClient. FortiClient EMS can deploy FortiClient (Windows) to AD endpoints that do not have FortiClient installed, as well as upgrade existing FortiClient installations if the endpoints are already connected to EMS. |
