Installing Redamp.io via GPO

Learn how to install Redamp.io using GPO (Group Policy Object) on all your Windows devices.

Prerequisites

• Windows Server 2019 or later
• Windows devices already joined to the domain

1. Generating credentials for GPO

1. Log in to Redamp.io as an administrator. (If you are a partner, click on a specific client to open their dashboard and continue to the next step)

2. Navigate to Devices and click the Import via GPO button in the top right corner.

3. Click the Create new secret button in the top right corner.

4. Configure the following two key values:

• Expiration date: Set the expiration date for the login token. After this date, the token becomes invalid.
• Associated user: Set the user under which devices will appear in the Redamp.io platform.

Then click the Create button to generate the secret.

5. Download the RedampDistribution.ps1 script by clicking the Download script button and copy the generated token.

6. Continue to the next step.

2. Mapping devices to email via comment attribute

To make sure the Redamp.io application signs in on each device under the intended account after installation, you must set a valid email address from your AD domain in the comment attribute. If the email is not set in this attribute, the application signs in under the first logged-in user from the AD domain, and if that process fails, a default account is assigned.

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers, click View, and enable Advanced Features.

2. Open the target device account properties and go to the Attribute Editor tab.

3. Find the comment attribute and set the target email address (for example, test.email@my_domain.com). You can use any email address from your AD domain under which the devices should be signed in.

4. Verify that all required devices are part of the selected AD group.

5. Continue to the next step and configure the GPO deployment.

3. Installing Redamp.io via GPO

1. Open the Group Policy Management window using the search box or via Server Manager -> Tools -> Group Policy Management.

2. Create a new GPO by right-clicking on the Group Policy Objects folder under your domain and selecting New.

3. Enter the GPO name (e.g., Redamp Distribution Script) and click the Ok button.

4. Right-click the created GPO and select Edit....

5. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Scripts.

6. Then right-click Startup -> Properties.

7. Go to the PowerShell Scripts tab and click the Show Files... button.

8. A shared directory will open; place the RedampDistribution.ps1 script you downloaded from the website.

9. You can now close the shared directory. Click the Add... button, then click Browse... and select the RedampDistribution.ps1 script you placed in the previous step.

10. Click the Ok button to save changes.

11. Right-click your organizational unit where you want to distribute Redamp.io and select Link an existing GPO....
