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 the Enterprise 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.
|
For proper operation of Network Scanner and the Network Installation tool under Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, IP address and/or DNS name of computer with installed Enterprise Server must be added to the trusted sites of browser, on which you open Control Center for remote installation. |
Using the Network Scanner
In the Dr.Web 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 which searches for computers by IP addresses.
To install the Dr.Web Enterprise Agent via the Network Scanner:
1.Open the Network Scanner. On the Administration menu of the Dr.Web Control Center, select Network scanner. A Network scanner window with no data loaded will be opened.
2.In the Networks field specify networks in the following format:
◆with a hyphen (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10)
◆separated by a comma with a whitespace (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10, 10.4.0.35-10.4.0.90)
◆with a network prefix (for example, 10.4.0.0/24).
Detailed description of additional parameters is given in p. Network Scanner.
3.Click Start Scanner. The catalog (hierarchical list) of computers demonstrating where the Dr.Web ESS 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.

|
|
The detected station is registered in the DB and active (i.e. the workstation with installed anti-virus software). |
|
The detected station is registered in the DB as deleted (i.e. the workstation is listed in the table of deleted stations). |
|
The detected station is not registered in the DB (i.e. there is no anti-virus software on the station). |
|
The detected station is not registered in the DB (the station is connected to another Server). |
|
The detected station is registered in the DB, bus it is not active and the port is closed. |
You can also unfold catalog items corresponding to computers with the 
or 
icon, and check which program components are installed there.
To open the component settings window, click the 
station component icon.

◆For installation on stations, found via the Network Scanner, the address of station or several stations, on which installation will be performed, already specified in the Computer names field.
◆Otherwise, specify address of a station or several stations. When the Agent software is installed on several computers at the same time, you can specify several IP addresses or computer names:
•with a hyphen (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10)
•separated by a comma with a whitespace (for example, 10.4.0.1-10.4.0.10, 10.4.0.35-10.4.0.90)
•with a network prefix (for example, 10.4.0.0/24).
|
Besides, you can enter computer domain names instead of the IP addresses. If installation is implemented by computer name, which contains hyphen '-', such name must be included into quotes, e.g., "123-456". |
10.By default the Agent software is installed to C:\Program Files\DrWeb Enterprise Suite. If necessary, specify another location in the Install path field.
11.By default in the Server field the IP address or the DNS name of Enterprise Server to which the Dr.Web Control Center is connected are given. If necessary, specify the Server address, from which the anti-virus software will be installed.
