Client Distribution is a software deployment tool that enables you to deploy a single instance of Control-M/EM client components over the Web to every supported Windows computer in your organization. The distribution includes base versions, fix packs, patches, and SSL certificates.
Control-M client updates are automatically distributed to end users. If a new update is available, users will receive a message when they log in. SSL certificates are automatically distributed and installed. To generate an SSL certificate, see Certificates. If you are using the Manage SSL BYO to bring your own SSL certificate, see Configuring client distribution installation to use Manage SSL BYO (Bring Your Own) Script certificates.
You can require end users to install updates by a specific date. If the end users have not installed the update by the defined deadline, they cannot log in until they complete the installation.
To distribute Control-M clients, see Distributing Control-M clients.
NOTE: If the Control-M client was installed via Client Distribution by a non-Admin user, then fix pack updates can only be installed by the same user.
