Carbon Black Cloud: Can GPO Software Installation Deploy the Sensor Without Reboot?

Carbon Black Cloud: Can GPO Software Installation Deploy the Sensor Without Reboot?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions
  • Carbon Black Cloud Sensor: All Versions
  • Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
  • Group Policy Object Editor

Question

Can GPO Software Installation deploy the Sensor without Reboot?

Answer

  • No this is not possible using GPO Software Installation. This is a limitation of Microsoft.
  • As a workaround it may be possible to create a custom script which is configured to install the sensor and deploy it via GPO Scheduled Task

Additional Notes

  • At this time Carbon Black does not provide a custom script which has been tested and qualified for use in deploying sensors using GPO scheduled task.
  • Any custom scripts created for this purpose will need to be supported and maintained by the script creator.
