Installing Dr.Web Agent Software via Dr.Web Security Control Center |
The following means of remote Agent installation on network workstations are available: 1.Installation via the Network Scanner. Allows to perform preliminary search of unprotected computers in the network and installation Dr.Web Agents on them. 2.Installation using the Network Installation tool. Fits for cases, when address of station or groups of stations on which the Agent will be installed, is previously known. 3.Installation on stations with specified ID. Allows to install Agents for selected accounts (including all new accounts) with specified ID and password for Server access on stations and groups of stations.
Using the Network Scanner In Dr.Web Security Control Center, the anti-virus network hierarchical list displays only those computers which are already included into the anti-virus network. The program allows also to discover computers which are not protected with Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite and to install anti-virus components remotely. To quickly install the Agent software on workstations, it is recommended to use Network Scanner (see , p. Network Scanner) which searches for computers by IP addresses. To install Dr.Web Agent via the Network Scanner 1.Open the Network Scanner. On the menu of Dr.Web Security Control Center, select . A window with no data loaded will be opened. 2.Set the parameters to search for stations in the network. Detailed description of the parameters is given in , the Network Scanner section. 3.Click . The catalog (hierarchical list) of computers demonstrating where Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite anti-virus software is installed will be loaded into this window. 4.Unfold the catalog elements corresponding to workgroups (domains). All elements of the catalog corresponding to workgroups and individual stations are marked with different icons the meaning of which is given below.
You can also unfold catalog items corresponding to computers with the icon, and check which program components are installed there. 5.In the window, select an unprotected computer (or several unprotected computers by pressing ctrl or shift buttons). 6.On the toolbar, click . 7.The window will be opened to configure the Agent remote installation task. 8.In the field, specify IP addresses or DNS names of computers on which Dr.Web Agent will be installed. If you set several stations, use “;” or “,” as a separator (number of spaces around a separator is irrelevant). For installation on stations found via the Network Scanner, the address of station or several stations on which installation will be performed, are already specified in the field. 9.By default the Agent software is installed to the %ProgramFiles%\DrWeb folder. If necessary, specify another location in the field. It is recommended to specify the full path for unique identification of installation folder location. It is allowed to use environment variables in the path. 10.By default the field displays IP address or DNS name of Dr.Web Server to which Dr.Web Security Control Center is connected. If necessary, specify the Server address from which the anti-virus software will be installed. If you set several Dr.Web Servers, use “;” or “,” as a separator (number of spaces around a separator is irrelevant). Leave this field blank to use Dr.Web Server detecting service (Multicast mode).
11.In the drop-down list, select the language of interface for Dr.Web Anti-virus which will be installed on stations. 12.In the field, specify the maximum number of stations to perform parallel installation. 13.In the field, specify maximum time to wait for the Agent installation to complete in seconds. Valid values: 1-600. 180 seconds is set by default. If network channel capacity between the Server and the Agent is low, it is recommended to enlarge the value of this option. 14.If necessary, set the flag. 15.In the section, select the components of anti-virus package which will be installed on stations. 16.In the and sections, specify the parameters of traffic compression and encryption used by the Network Installer during installation of the Agent and anti-virus package. These settings also will be used by the Agent for interaction with the Server after the installation. 17.In the section, specify the parameters of authorization to access the remote computers on which the Agent will be installed. You can set several administrator accounts. To add one more account, click and specify authorization parameters fields. Similarly, for each new record. During Agent installation, the first account in the list is used at first. If installation under this account failed, the next account in the list is used, and etc. 18.After all necessary parameters have been specified, click .
19.Dr.Web Agent will be installed on the selected workstations. After the workstation has been approved at the Server (if it is required by Dr.Web Server settings, see also New Stations Approval Policy), the anti-virus package will be automatically installed. 20.Restart the computer on Agent request. Using the Network Installation Tool In case an anti-virus network is basically created and it is necessary to install the Agent software on certain computers, it is recommended to use : 1.Select the item in the main menu. Then, in the opened window select the item in the control menu. 2.Further steps are similar to above. Installation for Accounts with Specified ID To perform remote Agent installation for accounts with selected ID 1.When creating a new station account: a)Add a new station account or several station accounts (see Creation of a New User Account). b)Right after adding account, in the right part of a main window, the pain opens. Click . c)The Network Scanner window opens. d)Further steps are similar to above. e)After installation is complete, check if icons of corresponding stations are changed in the hierarchical list. 2.When using existing station account: a)In the hierarchical list of anti-virus network, select a new station or group of stations, for which Agents are not installed, or the group (for installation on all new accounts). b)Click on the toolbar. c)The Network Scanner window opens. d)Further steps are similar to above. e)After installation is complete, check if icons of corresponding stations are changed in the hierarchical list.
