The Kabeen agent can be automatically updated across all user workstations via Microsoft Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPO).

Prerequisites

  • Kabeen agent already deployed on workstations
  • Administrator access to the domain controller

Package Update

Step 1: Download the New Package

  1. Log in to your Kabeen platform
  2. Navigate to the Agent Tracking menu
  3. Click Download Package to get the latest version

Step 2: Update the Existing GPO

  1. Open the Group Policy Management console
  2. Locate the GPO used for the initial agent deployment
  3. Edit the GPO and navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software Installation
  4. Right-click the existing Kabeen package and select All Tasks > Upgrade Package
  5. Select the newly downloaded MSI file
  6. Choose Package Upgrade as the upgrade method

Step 3: Force the Update

To accelerate update deployment:

Workstations will apply the update on the next restart or user login.
