Install Trellix Agent using custom installation packages

Prev Next

Use custom installation packages to install the agent on systems that are not managed by ePO - On-prem.

If you use a distribution method other than deployment capabilities (such as logon scripts or third-party deployment software), you can create a custom installation package (FramePkg.exe). For Windows systems, you can create the package with embedded administrator credentials. This is needed in a Windows environment if users do not have local administrator rights. The user account credentials you embed are used to install Trellix Agent.

Note

Because an installer package created for this purpose has embedded credentials, access to it should be severely restricted. Installer packages with embedded credentials should only be used in specific situations where another deployment method is not available. For additional, important information about the use of embedded credentials, see KB65538.
