Comodo Endpoint Security Manager - SME - Administrator Guide

The remainder of this step describes the first method - remote installation.

1. Click 'computers' in the top navigation (2nd link from the left) to open the 'computers' area.

2. Click the 'deploy' tile from the 'computers' area to start the wizard (by default, the tile is positioned bottom right).

3. The first stage is to choose how you want to import (Target Type). Computers can be imported using one of three

methods: Active Directory, Workgroup or by Network Address. Administrators should, of course, repeat this wizard

until they have imported all computers in their network.

4. Select the appropriate import method then swipe the screen to the move to the next stage. 'Swiping' is done by holding

left-click button down in white space and dragging the mouse to the left. If you have a touch-sensitive screen then you

can swipe between screens with your finger. A third alternative is to click the plain arrows in the middle on the left and

right side of the interface.

• If you chose 'Active Directory', you next have to choose whether to import from the current domain or a

custom domain. The 'current' domain means whichever domain the ESM server is a member of - not the

current domain of the endpoint being used to manage the server. If you choose 'custom domain' then you

will need to enter the IP or name of the domain controller and the administrator username and password for

that domain.

• If you chose 'Workgroup', you next have to specify which workgroup to import from. You can specify

manually by typing the workgroup name or use the 'Find workgroups' option to have the wizard present you

with a choice of workgroups detected on the server machine's local network. You can only import from one

workgroup at a time so you may have to repeat this wizard.

• If you chose 'Network Addresses', you next have to specify the IP, IP range, host name or subnet of the

target machines. Click the 'add' button to confirm your choice. Repeat until you have added all IP addresses

or ranges that you wish to import.

Swipe left (or click the right arrow button) to continue.

5. The next stage, 'Select Targets', allows you to choose those imported computers onto which you want to install the

Agent and Comodo Internet Security. Select the check-boxes next to your intended targets and swipe the screen left to

continue (or click the right arrow button).

6. The next step 'Target Summary' provides you the summary such as status, IP address of the endpoint(s) that you want

to install the agent or CIS. Select the check box beside the computer that you want to install the packages. If you want
