Click Finish.
After the previous step is complete, you need to wait for at least 10 seconds for the system to undergo a compilation process. When the system displays the following information, click OK.
Check whether the secoclient.msi file is generated under the specified project path.
Create a shared folder that can be accessed by users in all domains on the AD server and place the secoclient.msi file in this folder.
In this example, the shared folder is named secoclient. Right-click the shared folder, select Properties, and remember the path of this folder for subsequent operations.
