FortiClient installation

[KellYoun]

Hi Team,

I have a potential customer posing a question about FortiClient installation on machines when the user does not have the admin privilege, Can the install be done with a user logged in as a local (non-admin) account? They have a hundred people in the field with non-admin privilege that need to have FortiClient installed on their machines.

Thank you.

Hi,

A local Windows user without Administrator privileges cannot install FortiClient. 

Large deployments can be performed automatically and transparently when the endpoints joins a Windows domain, either through a GPO or using the Microsoft SCCM 2012.

If there is no Windows domain involved, your customer should rely on a third-party deployment system.

Regards,

Alain
