Deploying Cloud Drive Mapper (CDM) via Group Policy

Deploying the software via Group Policy entails creating a Group Policy Object (GPO) and then configuring it for distribution. Use this method for domain-joined environments only. Before you begin, please download and save the CloudDriveMapper.msi file onto a central storage location such as a file server. The CloudDriveMapper.msi file can be downloaded from the Downloads page in Iris (the IAM Cloud portal). Alternatively, you can also download this file by clicking here.

To deploy CDM via Group Policy, you must deploy the license key first. For more information, please see Deploying the license key via Group Policy.
