System information

Deploying Parallels Mac Client

• If you don't have secondary sites, the list will contain just one "Mac Client Enrollment" entry.

• If you have secondary sites but you've installed the Configuration Manager Proxy only on the

primary site, the list will contain just one entry.

• If you have secondary sites and installed the Configuration Manager Proxy on the primary

and a secondary site, the list will contain an entry for each site where the Proxy is installed.

The "Site" column contains the name of the site.

5 Right-click the Mac Client Enrollment entry that corresponds to the site where the Macs are

located and click Properties. The Parallels Mac Management Properties dialog opens.

6 Copy the URL from the Mac Client Installer URL field. The URL will look similar to the following:

http://myhost.local:8761/files/pma_agent.dmg

The installation image resides on the computer where the Configuration Manager Proxy is

installed. In addition to its primary function (being a proxy) the Configuration Manager Proxy also

acts as an HTTP server, so the installer can be downloaded from it to a Mac using a Web

browser.

7 On a Mac, enter the URL into a Web browser to download the pma_agent.dmg image.

Once you've downloaded the installation image file, you can install the software on a Mac as

follows:

1 Double-click the pma_agent.dmg file to open the image.

2 In the Parallels Mac Management window, double-click the Parallels Mac Management.pkg

icon. This will start the installation assistant.

3 Follow the onscreen instructions. When asked, provide the Mac user name and password. The

user must be allowed to administer this Mac.

4 On successful installation you should see the following message: "The installation was

successful". Click Close to exit the installation assistant.

5 After you close the installation assistant, another assistant will automatically open. This assistant

will register the Parallels Mac Management that you've just installed on your computer with

Configuration Manager. Read the information provided on the Introduction page and then click

Continue.

6 On the Authorization page, enter your company's domain name, your domain user ID and

password.

7 Click Continue.

8 On successful registration you should see a confirmation message. If you receive an error, click

the Try Again button to return to the Authorization page and re-enter the information. The

registration may fail for the following reasons:

• The specified domain name and/or domain credentials are incorrect.

• The Mac I

P address falls outside the boundary defined in Configuration Manager.

• The Configuration Manager Proxy service is not running.
