Use the Webroot Plugin to autodeploy Webroot.

Implementation Configuration​

The Webroot Plugin provides a way to automatically deploy Webroot by setting the auto-deploy column as desired for computer, location, and client. Once this is completed, the internal monitor (Webroot 3 - Not Installed), created on all the service plan groups by Webroot, will flag any computer that has its auto-deploy set to enabled, where the client and location are also enabled. Once the target is flagged by the monitor, the alert template (Webroot - Install Agent) will run the Webroot 3.0 - Install SecureAnywhere script, installing the software.
