###Deploying OpenDNS Umbrella Roaming Client with Continuum

Once logged into your Continuum Portal, you will see the top navigation menu where you will select “Scripts” as shown below. On the left navigation column, click on “Essentials” and then choose “Templates” as shown in the image below.

Once in the Template section, you will need to search or browse to the option "Create own application." As shown below, click the radio button next to this option and then click the "Create a Script From This Template" button above.

Here you can define your own installer which we’ll use to deploy the Umbrella Roaming Client. There is a specific install string that is required for the script to ensure that your roaming clients check in with the correct customer Dashboard.

You can find the install string in the OpenDNS MSP Console by expanding the Customer Management card and clicking "show install string" (circled below). Then, select the string beginning with ````/qn ORG_ID= ```` through the end.

The install string uses three parameters to register the Roaming Client in the correct Dashboard. Those parameters are USER_ID, ORG_ID and ORG_FINGERPRINT (see screenshot above). Note that the msiexec /i Setup.msi portion of the install string is not necessary in Continuum, and will cause errors.

More detail about the parameters and their definitions can be found in this support article.

First, we’ll create the installer. To start, click “Create a Script From the Template.” You will see a screen similar to the one below:

Make the following changes:

Script Name: %Customer Name% OpenDNS Roaming Client Deployment

Script Description: Installation script for the Umbrella Roaming Client for %Customer Name%

###“Download Details” Section Location:

http://shared.opendns.com/roaming/enterprise/release/win/production/

Note that this URL does not work in a browser unless you include the filename Setup.msiin the URL. This location tells Continuum where to look for the file, and below we'll be setting the filename. ###“Application Details” Section

Type of Application: MSI Package

Package/Exe name: Setup.msi (note this is case-sensitive)

Installation Parameter: Use string from Customer Management shown below

MD5 Checksum:

Leave this blank

Install under user account:

Leave this unchecked

Execution Mode:

Set this to Install

After you have completed the required section and any optional sections, click the Update or Save button to save the settings you have changed, and then you’ll be returned to your list of partner applications.

Now that you’ve created this script template, you can create a job using this template to deploy the Roaming Client. OpenDNS recommends testing your script on a single machine to verify it works as expected before deploying to a large group. In the Scripts Home, click Essentials > Jobs and Instances. Then, click Add Job. Set the "Job Name” (1). Click on the radio button next to "Script" (2). Click on the arrows (3) and start to type the name of the script you created in the "Filter" section then click on the script template you created, as in the image below:

You also have the option to receive an email alert from Continuum with summary information about the Job you have scheduled.

Use the drop down menus to choose 'Sites,' 'Desktops' and the location you are deploying to:

Then, choose the scheduled time to run the script, or execute immediately.

To confirm the Roaming Client is checking in, log into your OpenDNS Dashboard and navigate to Configuration > Identities > Roaming Computers. Look for the customer where you ran the deployment script, and search for the individual host names where the script should have been run. If the computer is checking in properly, you’ll notice a green status icon as shown below:

Computers without a green status icon are not checking in properly with OpenDNS. Please check this support article for more information on the status icons and troubleshooting.
