Installing from the OfficeScan Web Console
Install the OfficeScan client remotely to one or several computers connected to the
network. Ensure you have administrator rights to the target computers to perform
remote installation. Remote installation does not install the OfficeScan client on a
computer already running the OfficeScan server.
Note: This installation method cannot be used on computers running Windows XP Home,
and Windows Vista Home Basic and Home Premium Editions (32-bit and 64-bit
versions).
To install from the OfficeScan Web console:
1. If the computer does not run Windows Vista, skip this step. If running Windows
Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition, perform the following steps:
a. Enable a built-in administrator account and set the password for the account.
b. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Windows Firewall with
Advanced Security.
c. For Domain Profile, Private Profile, and Public Profile, set the firewall state to
"Off".
d. Open Microsoft Management Console (click Start > Run and type
services.msc) and start the Remote Registry service. When installing the
OfficeScan client, use the built-in administrator account and password.
2. In the Web console, click Networked Computers > Client Installation >
Remote.
