  4. Once the installer finishes, restart your computer.
    The installation is complete.

Install the Package Automatically

You can deploy AirLock to all computers on which you want AirLock installed via Group Policy Object (GPO).

  1. Copy the contents of the GPO folder to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\<company-domain>\policies\PolicyDefinitions.
  2. In the domain's Group Policy editor, locate the Axiad Airlock folder. 
  3. Configure the required settings within the Axiad Airlock folder.
  4. Create a software distribution share, readable by all Authenticated Users, for the installation files.
  5. Copy the axiad-webpcsc-native-<version>-admin.msi and Axiad AirLock <version>.msi files in the share.
  6. In Group Policy Management, under Computer Configuration > Policies > Software Settings > Software Installation, add a GPO to the OUs with AirLock workstations (AirLock OU).
  7. Set the installations as Assigned for each of the msi files within the distribution share:
    1. New > Package > axiad-webpcsc-native-1.5.0-admin.msi
    2. New > Package > Axiad AirLock v2.2.0(x64).msi
      NOTE
      During the first installation, two reboots are required:
      • the first reboot is required as the GPO will not try to install new software until the next boot, and
      • the second reboot is to allow Windows to finish installing the necessary Windows features required by AirLock.
TIP
If only some computers on the network require AirLock, we recommend you place your AirLock machines into specific OUs in Active Directory, and and use a new GPO to link to these OUs to set the required items.
