Revise the information in the Client assignment section of
RemoteInstall.conf
to specify clients for remote deployment. Under this
section are two subsections for use in targeting remote computers. Edit the #single
deploy
section, to set the configuration for a single computer to which RemoteInstall
will deploy. Edit the #group deploy
section to set configurations for one or
more groups of clients. You can use both sections in a single deployment.The discussion below lists the configuration data that you need to type for a successful
deployment.

TipFor ease of reference, Trend Micro suggests
starting any group names with an easily identifiable term, such as Sales,
RD, and likewise for computer names, for example,
Server1, Server2, and so on.
