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.
  • Single Deploy

For 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.
