Deploying RSA Authenticator 6.2.6 for Windows Using DISM

Users can directly install the latest RSA Authenticator for Windows app from the Microsoft Store. However, if users cannot access the Microsoft Store, the administrator can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command to deploy the app using the command-line tool. After the app is deployed, users can then add credentials to the RSA Authenticator app.

DISM is installed with Windows and contains commands that can deploy the app to a single computer or multiple computers:

• Deploy the App on a Single Computer

• Deploy the App on Multiple Computers
