Here we'll walk you through the process of deploying VIPRE SafeSend to your organization via Group Policy.

Create a Distribution Point

The first step in deploying an MSI through Group Policy Objects (GPO) is to create a distribution point on the publishing server.

1. Log on to the server as an Administrator
2. Create a shared network folder to house the MSI installer package
3. Set the folder permissions to allow access to the distribution package
4. Copy the SafeSend MSI to the shared folder

Create a Group Policy Object

The SafeSend .MSI is a per-machine package and should, therefore, be assigned per-machine. SafeSend will then be installed silently for all computers when the machines start.

1. Navigate to Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Group Policy Management Console
2. Locate the domain/OU you wish to link the new GPO
3. Right-click on your selected domain/OU and select Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here…
4. Name of the new policy, e.g. “SafeSend DLP Outlook Add-In”
5. On the left side of the screen, select the GPO
6. Under Scope > Security Filtering, add the wanted groups, users and computers
7. Right-click on the new GPO and select Edit
8. Expand Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software installation
9. Right-click Software Installation, and select New > Package
10. In the Open dialog, enter the full UNC path of the shared package you want to assign
    • Be sure to use the UNC path, not not the Browse button
11. Click Open
12. Click Assigned > OK. The package will be added to the right pane of the Group Policy window
    • When the client computers start-up, the assigned package will be installed automatically

Congratulations! VIPRE SafeSend PC add-in has now been successfully deployed to the end-users in your organization.
