What's going on guys it is Bernardo from the BTNHD and today is all about installing smart
deploy client on Windows 10.
So let's get started.
First things first on part one, I showed you guys how to install smart deploy console with
no problems.
So hopefully you guys are up and running on that part.
So we are going to click on start and we are going to go all the way to the bottom where
it says smart deploy open up the folder and click on smart deploy to launch the console.
And again, for me for some reason I kept on saying do not show again, I hit yes and it
just kept on popping up for me.
Eventually, it's gonna like kick in and say, Okay, I got you I understand.
So hit do not show again, and just hit yes on that particular dialog box.
Okay, so we need to generate a smart deploy client.
So what we are going to do is click on Add devices.
Click on the button that says generate client installer.
automatically is going to pre populate your console server name.
best practice is to use the server name.
do not use the IP address for my environment, I wanted to do a full qualified domain.
So I just add it dot btnhd.edu.
I clicked on browse, and I wanted to drop everything inside my desktop and I clicked
on save and then I pressed ok.
Once everything is done, you're going to get this nice little dialog box that says the
client installer was created successfully.
Click ok.
Right and then now you have the client on the desktop.
Within my Hyper-V, I created a virtual machine a Windows 10 machine that called the BTNHD
dash SD dash one SD stands for you guessed it smart deploy.
And it's the first machine that MSI file that we created within smart deploy, I dropped
inside the desktop, and I right clicked on it and click on Install.
It's going to start preparing itself to install you're going to get the nice smart deploy
client wizard, click next here, accept the license terms.
Click Next installation file already has the server name and where you have this smart
deploy.
So it's going to be pre-populated here.
Click Next, install, it's going to start installing, you're going to get the User Account Control
just hit yes on that to continue, it's going to start creating the folders for you, you're
gonna get a command prompt, don't freak out, it's still doing its thing behind the scenes.
And eventually, when everything is done, you get this completed Click on Finish.
So from here, if you right click on your start menu, and go to control panel, and within
control panel, if you go inside Programs and Features, you're going to see that the smart
deploy client is already installed onto this machine.
for those individuals that wants to install this client silently or during MDT deployment
or SCCM.
Or you want to do a GPO whichever way you want to do it.
This is the command that you will run to do it quietly within your environment, right
you can also add this during your deployment.
So every machine that you have within your environment should have this client installed.
Because one it will allow you to push out applications.
It will allow you to update drivers and also deploy images so this client is extremely
important to have on your machine.
once a client is already installed within your machine for me within my environment,
I installed it into two machines, and you are able to go inside Computer Management,
you're going to get this nice little dialog box to welcome to Computer Management.
And for my experience dealing with this, I had a lot of issues for my machines to show
up within the Computer Management, it took forever to show up, eventually, you know,
once you click got it, and it takes you over here to all computers, like I was saying before
it took forever for these machines to show up.
It took almost a day, I finally kind of strange that the machines took forever to show up
here.
There's a lot of network requirements that you need to do for the client and the console
to start talking together.
So everything could work seamlessly.
Also, the smart deploy must also be able to reach the two following URLs which are right
there in the bottom.
But I kind of find it strange that those two machines took forever to show up within the
Computer Management regardless that the console and the client automatically installs a rule
within your firewall to allow access and that's it guys that is how we install the smart deploy
client on a Windows 10 machine.
