Add a custom logo to the Norman Patch & Remediation update agent

Problem description

When the end-users are notified about a pending deployment or a reboot, you would like to show your own custom logo in the patch agent.

Solution

1. Log onto the Patch & Remediation Console > Review > Other > Packages.
2. Click Create button to launch the Local Package Editor Wizard.
3. Package Information: fill out the Name, Description, and Information URL.
4. Operating System: select the operating systems.
5. Files and Directories: Right mouse click on Target Computer > Create Folder > enter the following folder name %GRAVITIXDIR% and click Create. Select the %GRAVITIXDIR% > right mouse click > Add File > Add logo.bmp.
   NOTE: %GRAVITIXDIR% is an internal environment variable that can be interpreted by the Patch and Remediation Module. This variable will place the logo.bmp to the following folders:
   
   - Windows x86 - C:\Program Files\Norman\Patch Agent\
   - Windows x64 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Norman\Patch Agent\
6. Complete the Local Package Editor Wizard and schedule the deployment to your target computers.

Image Dimensions
To add a custom logo, the Patch Module requires the following image file name and image dimensions:

• Logo.bmp
• 250 x 164

Logo.bmp should be placed in the following folder:

• Windows x86 - C:\Program Files\Norman\Patch Agent\
• Windows x64 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Norman\Patch Agent\

To test your custom logo, deploy the A - Deployment Test and Diagnostic Package to a couple of endpoints with the Patch Module installed to make sure you are satisfied with the image.
