Networked Computers > Client Installation > Remote
You can remotely install the OfficeScan client to one or several Windows XP, 2000, Vista computers connected to the network. Ensure you have administrator rights to the target computers to perform remote installation. Remote installation will not install the OfficeScan client on a computer already running the OfficeScan server.
Before you install clients:
Check the client system requirements.
Identify which computers on your network currently do not have protection against security risks. You can do this by running the Trend Micro Vulnerability Scanner. This tool analyzes computers on your network for installed antivirus software based on an IP address range you specify.
Select the target computers.
The Domains and Computers list displays all the Windows domains on your network. To display computers under a domain, double-click the domain name. Select a computer, and then click Add.
If you have a specific computer name in mind, type the computer name in the field on top of the page and click Search.
OfficeScan will prompt you for the target computer's user name and password. Make sure to use an administrator account user name and password to continue.
Type your user name and password, and then click Log in. The target computer appears in the Selected Computers table.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to add more computers.
Click Install when you are ready to install the client to your target computers. A confirmation box appears.
Click Yes to confirm that you want to install the client to the target computers. A progress screen appears as the program files are copied to each target computer.
When OfficeScan completes the installation to a target computer, the computer name disappears in the Selected Computers list and appears in the Domains and Computers list with a red check mark.
When all target computers appear with red check marks in the Domains and Computers list, you have completed remote installation.
Note: If you install to multiple computers, OfficeScan will record any unsuccessful installation in the logs, but it will not postpone the other installations. You do not have to supervise the installation after you click Install. Check the logs later on to see the installation results.
