I am looking for a a way to automate client installation of SEP 12.1.2, such as a script. Here's how the environment is configured...
1. Single domain; multiple locations connected through WAN connections of various speeds
2. All clients authenticate at the HQ, no other servers remotely
3. All clients in the HQ installed thru remote push without any issues and are well managed thru SEPM, that is, updated and scanned per schedule
Issues....
When i try to push install to other areas in remote areas, the installation takes forever, I suspect that packets are lost on the way as when I do a ping there is a timeout, but the connection then returns, making the whole process to take forever and without any luck as it ultimately times out. As an alternative, i can copy the installation package to a remote location and script the installation, the main challenge being how to go about it. I would love to keep the installation simple but with adequate functionallity:
-silent installation so that users dont zap it
-use the likes of powershell, which i have not really used much except copying it somewhere
-any other solution to meet the installation requirements.
-AD and SCOM are possibilities but are likely to cause traffic congestion
