The WiseMo Windows Host can be deployed using either Active Directory Group Policies (GPO) or modern endpoint management tools such as Microsoft Intune.
Using GPO, the Host MSI can be assigned to computer groups and installed automatically at startup from a central file share. Configuration (host.xml) and license (host.lic) files can be distributed alongside the installation to ensure a fully configured Host without manual intervention.
In cloud-managed or hybrid environments, modern endpoint management tools such as Microsoft Intune provides a flexible alternative. With Intune, the Host is packaged as a Win32 application and deployed to Microsoft Entra ID–joined devices. Configuration and licensing can be included in the package or managed separately using scripts.
Updates are handled centrally in both models. New Host versions can be deployed via e.g. Intune or updated through GPO, with existing installations upgraded automatically without manual uninstall. Configuration changes can also be rolled out centrally without reinstalling the Host.
In LAN environments Access control and visibility of Hosts can be managed centrally using Active Directory groups, allowing administrators to define which users can access which devices. This enables scalable and secure administration without maintaining local user accounts on each Host.
In cloud environments, access control and visibility of Hosts can be managed centrally using myCloud Device Access Control, allowing administrators to define which users can access which devices. This enables scalable and secure administration across networks without requiring direct LAN connectivity or local user management on each Host.

Overall, both approaches allow for automated deployment, centralized management, and minimal manual effort, with the choice depending on the organization’s infrastructure and management strategy.
