If the workstations are inside a domain and the domain administrative account is used for the installation, you must turn on file and printer sharing on workstations. See the table for the location of this option for different Windows OS versions.

If the remote stations are outside a domain, or if the local account is used during the installation, then for some of Windows OS, the extra configuration of the remote stations is required.
