You can install specific DRA consoles and command line clients by executing the DRAInstaller.msi with the corresponding .mst package on the installation target:

NetIQDRAClients.mst

To deploy specific DRA clients to multiple computers across your enterprise, configure a group policy object to install the specific .MST package.

  1. Start Active Directory Users and Computers and create a group policy object.

  2. Add the DRAInstaller.msi package to this group policy object.

  3. Ensure this group policy object has one of the following properties:

    • Each user account in the group has Power User permissions for the appropriate computer.

    • Enable the Always Install with Elevated Privileges policy setting.

  4. Add the user interface .mst file, to this group policy object.

  5. Distribute your group policy.

NOTE:For more information about group policy, see Microsoft Windows Help. To easily and securely test and deploy group policy across your enterprise, use Group Policy Administrator.
