DEPLOYMENTPRO GROUP POLICY INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARE ACTIVE DIRECTORY
ENSURE DOMAIN JOINED AND CONNECTED TO CORP NETWORK
In order to run a successful DeploymentPro project using a log on script all of your users must be
joined to the Domain. Additionally all users remote must be connected to the corporate
network through VPN in order for the script to work properly.
PREPARE SHARED DRIVE LOCATION
Ensure that each user has access to the shared location where you want to place the
DeploymentPro Install File (Bootstrap.exe)
CUSTOMIZE THE DEPLOYMENTPRO AGENT
1. Select the Group Policy Deployment option and determine if you want to send DeploymentPro
emails as a backup.
WRITE YOUR LOG ON SCRIPT


Open up notepad and enter the following script
\\sharednetworklocation\Bootstrap.exe activationcode ?
Example:” \\sharednetworklocation\Bootstrap.exe UTB678I87TY ?”
Note: make sure you include the ? at the end of the script as this is what triggers the
LDAP lookup.
The Activation Code can be found on any page of your UserActivation project.
