Thank you for your feedback

The RapidIdentity MFA Client can be deployed silently to multiple workstations at once using the Microsoft™ Installer (MSI) package file format. The MFA client MSI is a generic installer that is not customized to any specific MFA environment. This generic format does not write the SyncService URL to the Foray path - HKLM\Software\Foray - which is required for clients to synchronize with the MFA server.
There are two recommended methods to add the SyncService URL to the MFA clients' registry to complete an MSI deployment, without editing the MSI file directly.

Looking For A Particular Version?

Visit our Release Notes & Downloads section to find the client version you need. If the version you are looking for is not available, then it is no longer supported.

Method 1 - Group Policy

Until better instructions for adding our required registry key via GPO can put together, please refer to Microsoft's Group Policy documentation.

Method 2 - Manually

Open regedit.
Navigate to HKLM\Software\Foray.
In the Foray page, right-click > New > String Value.
Name the new string value: ServiceURL
Update ServiceURL's value to match the service sync URL format:
```
http[s]://serverName/oneService/SyncService.asmx
```
*Be sure to properly set your URL to HTTP or HTTPS without the [brackets]
Perform a server sync by right-clicking the Identity Automation logo in the app tray.

Alternatively, you can use the following command in CMD:
```
cd C:\Program Files\2FA\ONE\Client & RIClient.exe /sync
```
