Deployment Configuration

SECURITY  Administrators

NAVIGATION  Configuration > Backup Profiles > click profile > Deployment Configuration button

The Deployment Configuration page allows you to generate team keys, and to configure automatic approval preferences and user account defaults for this backup profile.

Before deploying , you must generate a team key. The team key is used during the installation of File Protection; it associates the device with your team and links a backup profile to the device. You can designate any team key as the default team key.

NOTE  Ideally, your default team key should be associated with the backup profile you want to use as your default. You can always Change the default team key.

If Automatically approve devices is enabled, when File Protection Desktop or Server is installed on a device and configured with the team key, it gathers information from the Active Directory binding about the machine (if available), including the username, email address, computer name, OS version, etc.

The deployment automation options allow you to specify when a device is automatically approved by utilizing this information from the machine to create an account or match it to an existing account.

Use the Default domain for automatic account creation field to specify the domain to use when the device is not bound to Active/Open Directory.

NOTE  If a default domain is not entered, the domain will automatically be set to "<TeamID>.com”

You may also choose to Restrict automatic device approval to specified domains.

NOTE  To ensure that device deployment and approval operates in precisely the way you intend, please carefully review the Set configuration automation options section, below.
