    Centralised Distribution - SCCM Agent Deployment


      Article summary

      If devices in your organization are managed through a central desktop management tool, you may prefer remote installation instead of having team members download and install the app on their own. The following guide contains instructions for ManageEngine, JAMF Cloud, and SCCM. If using a different tool, please contact us via email and our Customer Support Team will be happy to provide you with a suitable solution.

      On macOS, you can download the PKG file and follow the steps below. For Windows systems, the download link to the latest version of MSI package can be found on this RSS feed.
