Follow the major steps outlined below to execute the RemoteInstall program.

Procedure

  1. Place the ServerProtect full binary file on the deploying server.
  2. Extract RemoteInstall from the ServerProtect binary. (See Extracting RemoteInstall From the ServerProtect Binary for details.)
  3. To deploy ServerProtect to multiple computers, configure the RemoteInstall.conf file for deployment. (See Specifying Clients for Remote Deployment for detailed guidance on the RemoteInstall.conf file.)
  4. Issue the following command at the command line:
