Enroll Windows Endpoints
-
After you have completed the setup process , Xcitium will send an email to your users containing device enrollment instructions.
-
Users should open the email on the Windows endpoint you want to enroll. After installation, the communication client will automatically connect to the Xcitium server.
Enroll a Windows device
-
Open the email on the device you want to enroll.
-
Click the enrollment link in the email to open the device enrollment page
-
The device enrollment wizard starts.
-
Click the 'Download Windows Installer' button:
The Xcitium client setup file gets downloaded.
-
Double-click on the file to install the communication client.
The device automatically gets added to Xcitium once installation is complete. The Xcitium communication client icon appears at the bottom-right of the endpoint screen.
-
If the client is not automatically enrolled after installation, you can manually enroll the device at a later time. This might happen, for example, if there are connectivity issues.
-
You will need to enter the host, port and token ID to manually enroll. You can find these items at the end of the device enrollment page.
Manually enroll your device
-
Right-click on the communication client tray icon and select 'Activation'
-
Enter the host, port number and token in the respective fields. You can find these items in the device enrollment page.
-
The client communicates with the Xcitium server and enrolls the device.
If Xcitium Client Security (XCS) is included in the setup process, then it is installed automatically. Else you can install XCS manually after device enrollment is complete. See Remotely Install and Update Packages on Windows Devices for help with this.
A security profile will be applied to the device when XCS is installed. Profile deployment is as follows:
-
If the user is already associated with a configuration profile in Xcitium then those profiles will be applied to the device. See Assign Configuration Profiles to User Devices and Assign Configuration Profiles to a User Group for more.
-
If no user / user group profile(s) are associated then profile included in the setup process is applied to the device.
-
If no profiles are defined for the user then the default Windows profile(s) will be applied to the device. See Manage Default Profiles for more on this.
The device can now be remotely managed from the Xcitium console.
Xcitium lets you rebrand the communication client (CC) and XCS applications to change the appearance and interface texts in their GUI. This is especially useful for customers who wish to white-label the CC/XCS interfaces for their clients.
-
The 'UI Settings' component of a configuration profile applied to the device can be configured to:
- Show your company name, support website, phone number and email.
- Display your company logo, header logo, product icons and product logo in various interfaces of the applications.
- See CC and XCS Application UI Settings under Create Windows Profiles for more details.
