Deployment Using Windows Group Policies (GPO installs)

Important! Download the GPO version of the SPX installer from the Arcserve website to perform a Windows Group Policy install. Do not use the standard MSI installer.

When deploying SPX within a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows provides the option to use Group Policy (GPO) to install the software. As SPX has a mandatory string "IACCEPT=ARCSERVE.EULA" to include with the install, create a matching transform file (*.MST) with this string.

Note: A Transform (*.MST) file can include command line parameters to pass into an MSI installer as part of a software install using Group Policies (GPO).

Example Transform File (.MST)

This example includes acceptance of the Arcserve EULA, together with license key and related details.

Warning! Do not save the transform changes back to the original MSI file. Doing so will break the digital signature on the MSI.
