  • 1.  PGP upgrade deployment through SCCM

    Posted Apr 02, 2013 05:34 PM

    Hi,

    I have a ticket opened from a client requesting to have their PGP software updated to the latest version which I belive is 10.2 and they have 10.1.

    The issue for us is to implement a solution on how to migrate PGP Sofware for 1000+ machines using SCCM.

    As they already have encrypted their Hard Drives with the current version and I'm just guessing that the normal or best procedure to avoid any issues for a single workstation could be a fresh install but what about 1000+. Hope this software comes with a kind of smart update that will update the software without doing too much changes or to have the need to decrypt the whole hard drive to place the new version.

    Is not an option that we're going to do this task one by one manually. If there's any solution that can be provided to be implemented as an SCCM Package or a repackaging trick, please let me know as this will simplify this task.

    Kind regards.

    Joel Egon.

    10.3 is the latest version, yes you can do this with sccm. I have attached the install and admin guides also so you have them. If you need ot push out to new machines the msi file ranges from 40 to 60 mbs in size.

    Make sure you check the box to do the dilent install.

    You won't need to re-encrypt or anything like that, so you won't have to worry in that regard.

     

    Silent install is the way forward, but all endpoints will require a reboot, but you can supress it with a norestart switch in the msi.
