To install agents in client computers using a GPO, follow the steps given below:
Note: Ensure that you complete the steps given below in a Domain Controller setting. You can map the script to a domain even if you have installed Browser Security Plus agents in a few client computers. The script will install the agent only in the computers in which the agent is not installed.
- Download the Zip file and extract it. Follow the below steps to download the agent from Browser Security Plus server:
- Navigate to Agent tab
- Click on Scope of Management

- Click on start>Run, enter gpmc.msc and click OK
- Right click the domain to select, create and link a GPO here
- Specify a name for the GPO
