Create and Assign a Client Task

Endpoint Privilege Management for Windows is deployed to client computers using ePolicy Orchestrator client tasks. Client tasks are assigned to groups within the System Tree. This section guides you through the creation of a client task for Endpoint Privilege Management for Windows, and the assignment of the client task to the group in the System Tree.

If you previously installed the Endpoint Privilege Management client with a switch, you must ensure that when you upgrade the Endpoint Privilege Management client you use with the same switch. If you do not use the same switch, the new installation parameters will apply (including any added switches) and any functionality relating to previous installation switches will be lost. Endpoint Privilege Management client switches can be set in the Command Line field in Products and Components.
