How do I deploy the V-Suite CORE client via an Active Directory Group Policy or a system management tool like Microsoft SCCM?

Your customer software download page will include links to download Windows Installers (MSI). The downloads page has MSI installers for the 32-bit and 64-bit V-Suite CORE client and for V-Suite CORE Integration Adapters. For deployment via a Group Policy, you will need to download the MSI installers and provide command line options. This Microsoft article describes standard windows installer command line options.

The V-Suite CORE clients (32 and 64 bit) windows installers accept the following property inputs:
