Deploy Rublon MFA for Windows using SCCM

Last updated on September 5, 2025

Note: This document describes how to deploy Rublon MFA for Windows using SCCM. Note that you can also use PDQ Deploy and Intune to achieve the same results. Deploying MFA for Windows Logon and RDP using PDQ Deploy is faster than using SCCM. So, we recommend using PDQ Deploy unless you specifically need to use SCCM.

Overview

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a Windows product that allows managing a large number of endpoints. One of the benefits of SCCM is that you can use it to deploy a computer program on dozens of machines at once, substantially cutting down the deployment time.

You can use Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to deploy the Rublon for Windows & RDP connector on many machines at once. We recommend you deploy the connector manually if you have only a few machines. However, if you need to deploy the connector on a large number of machines, we recommend using SCCM to automate the process.

Before You Start

Ensure you have correctly configured Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) so that it will be possible to create and deploy an application on multiple endpoints.
Download the latest version of the Rublon for Windows Logon & RDP connector.

Configuration

Follow these steps to deploy Rublon for Windows Logon and RDP on all your endpoints.
