Installing the Cloud Agent
Complete the following steps to install the Cloud Agent:
 
1. Log on to the Deep Freeze Cloud Console.
2. Click Install Cloud Agent.
3. Select Windows, Windows Server or Mac.
4. Select the Group. The computer(s) where the Cloud Agent is installed will be part of the selected Group.
5. Select the Policy. The computer(s) where the Cloud Agent is installed will be part of the selected Policy.
When you select a group that has an enforced policy attached to it, the option to change or select the policy is disabled.
The group and policy will be embedded in the installer and applied to the computers. A computer that joins the group with an enforced policy will be assigned with the enforced policy. (Not applicable for Windows Server.)
6. Select one of the following options:
> Download the installer to install on any computer.
If you select Download the Installer to Install on Any Computer, copy the file to the computers that need to be managed from the Deep Freeze Cloud Console, and run the installer.
When selecting the Windows Server option, the installer can only be installed on server operating systems and can not be installed on non-server operating systems.
Likewise, when selecting Windows option (non-server), the installer can only be installed on non-server operating systems and can not be installed on server operating systems.
> Download MSI installer to deploy via Active Directory. (Windows non-server only.)

This saves valuable Internet bandwidth since each computer does not need to download the installers for each service. (Windows non-server only.)
