Installing with Remote Install

Target client

• Use an administrator account to log on to each target client.

  Note:

  If the target client runs Windows 7, enable the built-in administrator account first. Windows 7 disables the built-in administrator account by default. For more information, refer to the Microsoft support site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744293%28WS.10%29.aspx).

• The target client must not have Security Server installed. Remote Install does not install the Security Agent on a client already running the Security Server.

Target client running Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, 10, Server 2008, 2012/2012 R2, or SBS 2011

Perform the following tasks:

1. On the client, temporarily enable File and Printer Sharing.

   Note:

   If the company security policy is to disable Windows Firewall, proceed to step 2 to start the Remote Registry service.

   1. Open Windows Firewall in the Control Panel.

   2. Click Allow a program through Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for an Administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. The Windows Firewall Settings window appears.

   3. Under the Program or port list in the Exceptions tab, make sure the File and Printer Sharing check box is selected.

   4. Click OK.

2. Disable User Account Control.

   Note:

   For Windows 8/8.1, 10, or 2012/2012 R2: Modify the following registry key to turn off User Account Control: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] “EnableLUA”=dword:00000000.

3. Temporarily start the Remote Registry service.

   1. Open Microsoft Management Console.

      Note:

      Type services.msc in the Run window to open Microsoft Management Console.

   2. Right-click Remote Registry and select Start.

4. If required, return to the original settings after installing Security Agents on the Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, or 10 client.

Target client running Windows XP

On the client, temporarily disable Simple File Sharing:

1. Open Windows Explorer.

2. Click Tools > Folder Options.

3. On the View tab, clear Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended).

4. Click Apply.

IPv6

A dual-stack Security Server can install the Security Agent to any client. A pure IPv6 Security Server can only install the Security Agent to pure IPv6 or dual-stack clients.
