General Deployment Guidance

You can use many methods to deploy the Adaptiva Client, but the same general process is used in each.

1. Access the Adaptiva Client

We recommend you deploy the Peer-to-Peer MSI adaptiva-client-p2p-windows.msi in order to minimize network utilization through peer-sharing.

• On-premises: You can access the Adaptiva Client installer from the Installers folder in the downloaded installation media.

• SaaS: You can access the Adaptiva Client installer from Settings > Client Downloads in the Admin Portal.

2. Share the full installer if necessary

Not required for SaaS.

If the client installer cannot access the full .exe client on the local subnet, it will default to the URL or UNC path defined in the installation command line.

3. Build your command line

For SaaS clients, all parameters are included in the msi.

• EXE command line parameters

• P2P command line parameters

• adaptivactl command line parameters (Linux/MacOS installer package)

4. Deploy the client

• Choose your deployment tool

• Build you deployment package

  • Install using a System/sudo account

  • Add an uninstall command - uninstall commands

• Target clients and monitor your deployment

5. Validate installation

• Navigate to the Adaptiva Admin Portal and go to Assets > Devices to confirm that devices appear in the dashboard.

• You can also confirm the functionality of the Adaptiva Client using the Client Validator tool when interactively installing.
