For single-site deployment and in organizations where IT policies are strictly enforced, IT administrators can choose to deploy using Remote Install or Login Script Setup.
In organizations where IT policies are less strictly enforced, Trend Micro recommends installing Security Agents using the Internal Web Page. Using this method, however, requires that end users who will install the Security Agent to have administrator privileges.
Remote Install is efficient for networks with Active Directory. If your network does not use Active Directory, use the Internal Web Page.
