  • This article explains how to install Comodo Client Security (CCS) on managed endpoints.
     

  • CCS is the client that implements security on the endpoint. It includes antivirus, firewall, host intrusion prevention, and an automatic threat containment system.

Process in brief:

  • Login to Comodo One / Xcitium

  • Click 'Applications' > 'Endpoint Manager'

  • Click 'Devices' > 'Device List' > 'Device Management' 

  • Select the target endpoints.

    • You can select and install on multiple devices at once, but they must all use the same operating system. E.g. all Windows or all MAC OS.

  • Click the 'Install or Update Packages' button

  • Select the packages you want to install and click 'Install'

  • Endpoint Manager (EM) will push the installation package to the endpoints and install the application

  • The endpoint will restart if so configured in installation options

Process in detail:

Use the following links to see instructions for each operating system:

  • Use default Comodo Client – Install the CCS version which has been set as the default in Endpoint Manager.
     

  • Version to install – Choose the version of CCS to install on the target device

  • Force the reboot in... - Restart the end-point a certain period of time after installation. Choice of 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes

The following message is shown on the device if you choose ‘Force reboot’:


 

The device will restart automatically when the time elapses.

  • Suppress the reboot- Do not restart the machine after installation. CCS will only become fully functional after the device is restarted.
     
  • Warn about the reboot and let users postpone it - Show an alert to the user which advises them that their computer needs to be restarted. You can enter a custom message for the user:


 

  • Users can restart the endpoint immediately by clicking 'Reboot now', or defer it by picking a time in the 'Remind me in' drop-down and clicking 'Postpone'.
