Creating custom agent installation packages
Use this task to create a custom agent installation package.
If you use a distribution method other than ePolicy Orchestrator deployment capabilities (such
as login scripts or third-party deployment software), you can create a custom agent installation
package (FramePkg.exe) with embedded administrator credentials. This is necessary in a
Windows environment if users do not have local administrator permissions. The user account
credentials you embed are used to install the agent.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later do not allow embedded administrator
credentials until the package file name has been added to the exception list of the Windows
firewall.
