Performing an Administrative Installation

To deploy CA DLP to client machines using managed and command line methods, we recommend that you first perform an administrative installation to your network. This enables client machines to install CA DLP directly from the network without generating excessive network traffic or requiring excessive free disk space on the client.

The administrative installation installs a source image of CA DLP onto the network in a target folder specified by you. The source image is called Client.msi. You must put this source image in a shared network folder to which all the target machines have read access.

To perform an administrative installation, use the /a command line option for Msiexec.exe. The syntax is:

msiexec /a <Path>\client.msi

Note: See your Microsoft documentation for details about administrative installations.
