Deploy CDM through Group Policy using the MSI file

To deploy CDM through Group Policy, you’ll need to create a Group Policy Object (GPO) and then configure it for distribution. This method only applies to domain-joined environments. Before you begin, you’ll need to do the following:

  • Download the CloudDriveMapper.msi file from the Downloads page in Iris to a central storage location such as a file server. Depending on your environment, the Downloads page includes an MSI file for both x64 and ARM64 devices.

  • Ensure you’ve installed Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8 before deploying CDM, as the MSI file can’t install it at the beginning of the installation process due to the way its execution sequence works.

  • Ensure you've deployed the CDM license key before deploying CDM.
