Welcome to the Centrify Express community:
Deployment manager is not neededfor agent functionality, it's just a discovery & distribution mechanism. You can get the RPM and use rpm, yum, chef, puppet, ansible, whatever you require to install the software.
What you're likely seeing is that some of our utilities like will throw an error because CentOS 6.8 is not on the manifest. Since this is a minor release, you should be able to install the client directly and join AD via any other means.
See below. This is not an "officially-supported" release until Suite 2017, but you can install our client and use it unless there's been major OS-changes for PAM, NSS or Kerberos.
Notice below that I used the Centrify repo to obtain the bits, then I ran adjoin and off we go...

"Officially Supported" to us means that we have QA-tested all our tool-set, but that will happen for that version of CentOs (released in May, the same month we relased 2016.1) when we release 2017.
Bottomline - no need to wait, enjoy automation.
