Service Module SM-MSI Installation Customer Module CM-EXE Installation Service Module SM-EXE Installation Deploying AnyDesk. AnyDesk provides an MSI Installation version for Windows. You can also generate custom MSI files at my.anydesk.com. To automatically deploy AnyDesk with MSI file, please use the command line. AnyDesk provides the option to run as administrator (elevated), which enables the user to control applications that are limited to administrators. AnyDesk automatically runs as administrator when installed. A session to such remote client cannot request elevation since it's already granted and displays this option as disabled in the actions menu.
AnyDesk has several modes to run which affects how it is startup and closed.
