Qualys Cloud Agent Deployment using Group Policy
This section describes the Cloud Agent deployment using group policy. Using group policy, you can install software on multiple computers or users at once without visiting each device or providing installation media. Also, you can update or uninstall the Cloud Agent just by modifying the group policy object.
The following are the two methods for deploying Cloud Agent using group policy:
Software Installation Package based Deployment
Scheduled Task based Deployment
We recommend using Scheduled Task-based Cloud Agent deployment method over the Software Installation Package based deployment methods due its inherent benefits.
