Top  Previous  Next

To install Dr.Web Agent and antivirus package in the background mode of the installer:

1.From the workstation, on which you want to install the antivirus software, run the drwinst.exe programm, located at:

Network catalog of Agent installation. After Server installation, it is Installer folder (the shared hidden resource) of the Enterprise Server installation folder. You can change this resource further.

Installation page of the Dr.Web Control Center, which is available at the following address:
http://<Server_address>:<port_number>/install/
where <Server_address> is the IP address or DNS name of the computer on which Enterprise Server is installed. And the <port_number> should be 9080 (or 9081 for https).

By default, the drwinst instruction launched without parameters will use the Multicast mode to scan the network for Enterprise Servers.

 

When you use the Multicast mode to find active Servers, the Agent installation is performed from the first founded Server. If the pub key is not fitted to the Server key, installation will be failed. In this case, expressly specify the Server address (as described below).

 

The drwinst command may be used with switches:

If the Multicast mode is not used to detect the Server, it is recommended to specify a domain name for the Enterprise Server in the DNS service and use this name when installing the Agent:

drwinst <Server_DNS_name>

It is especially useful in case you would like to reinstall the Enterprise Server on a different computer.

You can expressly specify the Server address as follows:

drwinst 192.168.1.3

Using the -regagent switch during the installation will allow you to register the Agent in the Add or Remove Programs list.

To launch the installation in the graphical mode, use the -interactive parameter.

 

The complete list of Network Installer parameters is describe in the Appendix H4. Network Installer at the Administrator manual.

 

2.After the installation, the software of Dr.Web Agent is installed on your computer (antivirus package is not installed yet).

3.After the station has been approved at the Server (if it is required by Enterprise Server settings), the antivirus package will be automatically installed.

4.Restart the computer on Agent request.

 

After installation of antivirus package that includes Dr.Web Firewall component, two reboots of a station are required to complete installation.

Under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 OS, after the second reboot, Task Scheduler service which is blocked by Dr.Web Firewall component, is not started. Functionality is restored after automatic creation of predefined rule by Dr.Web Firewall component for enabling Task Scheduler service and further restart of the Task Scheduler, particularly after reboot of a station.
