Group Policies (GPO) as a Practical Way to Control

For larger companies or teams, introducing new software to be used company-wide is always a challenge. It must not only be ensured that the new program runs on every workstation, but also that it is identical and functional across all workstations. In the case of software like Lookeen, this often means that certain settings must be the same at every workstation, or indexing specifications and restrictions must be followed.

Simple Company-Wide Installation

There’s a reason Lookeen has been installed over 500,000 times worldwide. Thanks to Lookeen, IT admins can centrally manage the software rollout. Lookeen Premium Search also offers extensive group policies (GPO) and a package of ADM files. However, these are only available with the purchase of the Business or Premium Edition. Configure, restrict, and deploy – using the included GPOs, system administrators can centrally control the installation, setup, and use of Lookeen in your company without having to set up each workstation individually. Only with Lookeen Business or Premium Edition can you control which employee can search which Exchange Server or public folder with Lookeen. Indexing and searching PST files can also be managed with group policies. Our Business or Premium Edition unlocks numerous features that make managing multiple licenses easier for you.

Minimal Administrative Effort

Automated installation with predefined settings allows your IT department to manage with minimal effort. Lookeen can be easily installed and managed on every computer in your company through a central rollout. With your own central software distribution system, installing Lookeen on individual workstations is no longer an issue.

Business Edition

With the Business Edition, we provide ADM files tailored to your company. These files allow you to easily roll out Lookeen company-wide, including unattended installations. The ADM files are available for both 32- and 64-bit systems and contain over 100 configuration options, all of which are explained in detail in our GPO Guide. This enables central management of license key distribution or Lookeen setup options during rollout.

Premium Edition

The Premium Edition includes all the features of the Business Edition. In addition, you can add external indexes to your own index. With just one click, you can include your employees’ indexes in your search queries. This feature saves the system from duplicate work, reducing memory and processor usage, as well as network traffic.
