Deploying remote access to a handful of devices is easy. Deploying it to thousands — across multiple sites, with automatic user provisioning and consistent policy — is a different challenge entirely. The difference comes down to repeatability, and that's where MSI packaging and SCIM provisioning earn their keep.
Why MSI matters at scale
An MSI package lets you install the client silently, with predefined settings, across your entire estate using the deployment tools you already have — SCCM, Intune, Group Policy or your MDM of choice. No clicking through installers, no per-machine configuration, no drift between deployments.
Designing your deployment
Start by deciding what should be true on every machine: the default connection settings, the security policy, the branding. Encode these into your MSI transform so every install is identical. Then target your deployment groups, starting with a pilot ring before broadening to the whole organisation.
Configuration profiles for consistency
Beyond the installer, configuration profiles let you enforce settings after deployment — so a user can't accidentally weaken security. Profiles also let you push updates to policy without redeploying the client, which matters when your fleet numbers in the thousands.
SCIM for automatic user provisioning
Manually creating and removing user accounts doesn't scale. SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) lets your identity provider — Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace — automatically provision users when they join and de-provision them when they leave. No orphaned accounts, no manual tickets.
Tying it together with SSO
Pair SCIM with single sign-on and your users authenticate once with their existing corporate credentials. The result is a remote access deployment that feels like part of your infrastructure rather than a bolt-on — and one that stays secure as people join, move and leave.
A rollout that scales
With a silent MSI and repeatable configuration in place, going from a handful of devices to many more is a matter of targeting larger groups rather than repeating manual work. Repeatability is what turns a painful rollout into a routine one.
