Deployment with endpoint management solutions

The Custom installer manager can be used with endpoint management solutions such as Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM), or other deployment platforms.

By generating a Custom installer that includes the required Remote Desktop Manager configuration, administrators can distribute it through their endpoint management solution to multiple devices. This allows organizations to deploy Remote Desktop Manager at scale while ensuring users receive a predefined configuration upon installation.
