Deploying Coro on Windows endpoints

This guide describes the process for deploying the Coro Agent to Windows endpoints.

Prerequisites and system requirements

Before you begin, make sure your Windows device meets the following prerequisites:

• Windows devices must meet the minimum specifications .
• You must have administrative permissions to install applications on your Windows device.

Deployment options

Install the Coro Agent through one of the processes described below:

• Self-install on single devices : An admin user provides specific users with an installer link via email. The users select the link and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software on their devices. This method also applies to upgrading existing Agent versions (for version 1.5 and later).
• Mass deployment : An admin user downloads the Agent installer package and deploys it across all devices using a mass deployment tool.
