# Takumi Guard: Admin Deployment Adds WSL Support

Takumi Guard [admin deployment](/docs/t/guard/features/admin-deployment) now supports configuring WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). The wrapper script for the logged-on user configures Guard on the Windows host and on all of the user's registered WSL distributions with the same organization user token.

## Overview {#overview}

If your developers use WSL as a development environment, configuring Guard only on the Windows host leaves package installs inside WSL going around Guard. The wrapper script for the logged-on user in the Windows deployment examples now also configures Guard on the user's WSL distributions alongside the Windows host.

The Windows host and WSL share the same organization user token, so adding WSL does not consume additional licenses. Each environment — the Windows host and each WSL distribution — is configured independently, so a failure in one environment does not stop the others. If any environment fails, the exit code is non-zero, so your management tool can detect it.

If you don't need Guard on WSL, set `$ConfigureWsl` to `$false` at the top of the wrapper script to target only the Windows host.

Note that, due to a Windows design constraint, WSL can be configured only by the wrapper script for the logged-on user. See "[Configuring Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](/docs/t/guard/features/admin-deployment#wsl)" in the guide for details.

## Getting Started {#getting-started}

Take the wrapper script from "[Configure only the logged-on user](/docs/t/guard/features/admin-deployment#deploy-win-current-user)" in the [Admin Deployment guide](/docs/t/guard/features/admin-deployment) and deliver it through a method that runs the script with user privileges, such as Microsoft Intune's "Run this script using the logged on credentials" option.

:::warning If you already use admin deployment
WSL support is a wrapper-script feature. Update the wrapper script you distribute to the latest version published in the guide.
