[. . . ] If you do not use update profiles for update, you do not need to choose any profile, you can skip to the next step. Next, choose workstations or groups, to which you want to assign the configuration (put them in the `Selected items' section). Click on the `Add from Clients Pane' to add currently displayed clients to the pane under `Selected items'. Check the `Selected' option to move only those clients which were highlighted in the left hand `Clients' window. Alternatively, you can select some or all clients that are listed and click the button to add them to the list under `Selected items' in the right hand panel. And finally name the task, or add a description to it. These features serve only for easier orientation for the administrator, who can thus later quickly identify tasks. At the same time, you can `Apply task after' and choose a time and date, or delete it from the `Tasks' tab of the RA console after it has been completed (Delete tasks automatically by cleanup if successfully completed). Administration Installation Guide 49 More detailed information Administration Installation Guide 50 Remote install in detail In this chapter you can find more detailed information about the remote install process. In the case of a Push installation, the following operations take place: 1. RAS contacts a remote workstation and attempts to authorize the connection by the username and password created and entered by the administrator from the RAC (the password cannot be left blank, or the connection will not work). If successful, the RAS connects to the workstation using share ADMIN$ and starts copying the file nod32installer. exe belonging to the installation package. The file nod32installer. exe is started as a service and executed. After that, nod32installer. exe contacts the RA server on port 2224 (TCP) and starts downloading the corresponding installation package. When the download finishes successfully, the installation of the package starts, together with predefined attributes (configurations, command line parameters, etc. . . ) In the case of the variant "Export to logon script", or "Send via E-mail", the process starts with the running of the file nod32installer. exe (either manual ­ by user, or automatic, eg: from logon script). The file nod32installer. exe is started as a service and executed. After that, nod32installer. exe contacts the RAS on port 2224 (TCP) and starts downloading the corresponding installation package. If there is also a Windows NT based operating system (ie: Windows 2000/XP, etc. ), the RAS provides logon information ­ an account (username / password), that will be used for the installation . When the download finishes successfully, the installation of the package starts, together with predefined attributes (configurations, command line parameters, etc. . . ) NB: Username / password, or administrator account on that workstation must be defined in the RAC. To define it, click on the "Logon" button in the "Remote Install" (Set Default Logon for E-mail and Logon Script). Administration Installation Guide 51 The file nod32installer. exe The file nod32installer. exe is an installer that will prepare NOD32 for remote install. After executing, it is installed as a service. It will also perform the following tasks: Check whether NOD32 for Windows is already installed on workstations. If yes, it will not attempt to install it again. [. . . ] switchwithaconfigurationname(ifthisparameterisnotpresent, NOD32. XML is used by default). namewithobligatorySETUP. XMLfile(enteredonlyifSETUP. XMLisnot present in the installation folder, or has a different name). installation creates NSETUP. LOG, where the process of installation is described in detail. This is important in case a current version of NOD32 is protected by a password, and the administrator intends to reinstall in silent mode. [. . . ]
