One of the ways to install Endpoint Security clients is ‘Automatic Deployment’. Which of this is true for automatic deployment of Endpoint Security…

Automatic Deployment can only occur on endpoints that already run the Check Point Deployment Agent (SVN Foundation). The agent supplies the services that receive, authenticate and execute the client-package push sent from the Endpoint Management Server; without it the server cannot connect or install the product.

A. SmartConsole is an administrative GUI, never installed on ordinary endpoints, and is irrelevant to client push.

B. Endpoints with no Check Point component (including the Deployment Agent) cannot be targeted by Automatic Deployment.

D. “Initial Client” packages are used for manual distribution; they are not a prerequisite for Automatic Deployment.
