    This option allows you to download the Cloud Agent installer file. Executing it will install the Cloud Agent along with the services enabled in the policy. Recommend for environments with 5-10 computers, the same install file can be used on multiple computers if you would like the same configuration to be on each computer.

    This option can be used while deploying via Active Directory. In this process, the MSI file would install the Cloud Agent first and then the Cloud Agent will sync with Deep Freeze Cloud, check the services/configuration enabled in the policy and then install each service on the computer.

  3. Obtain a URL for installing on other computer(s)

    This option is similar to option #1 but instead of downloading the file directly, it provides a download link for the file which can be used to install the Cloud Agent on any computer.

  4. Download the Deployment Utility to detect and install on any computer
