You can install OfficeScan client software to Windows NT workstations throughout your company via Windows NT remote installation. A utility is included to assist the administrator to perform the remote installation. The following is the procedure for using the NT Remote Install utility within the web-based management console - the utility is also available from a shortcut on the Windows Start menu.
When completed, the server will start the TMLISTEN service to start monitoring the client. The icon that represents the workstation in the left-hand list box in the NT Remote Install window will appear with a red check mark over it to show that the software installed correctly. The client will also appear in the Java tree under the Workstation Administration section.
When multiple Windows NT workstations have the same admin account and password, the administrator is prompted for the logon credential only once. Windows NT Remote Setup will continue to use this credential until it no longer works, at which time it will prompt the administrator for a new credential.
When you try to deploy software through Windows NT remote installation to multiple workstations, any failed installation will be recorded in the log file but it will not postpone the other installations. The administrator does not have to supervise the installation once the OK button has been clicked.
