Push installation
Push means deploying remotely to one or more computers in a network. This method uses the
Push Install utility to deploy the client software directly from your service provider’s website to
client computers on your network. Push installation does not require third-party deployment
software or interaction with users.
To perform a push installation:
Designate an administrative computer, where you will download the Push Install utility and
initiate the push.
Select the target computers, which are client computers on your network that will receive the
software.
The Push Install utility is essentially an ActiveX control that runs on an administrative computer.
It installs client software on all target computers that are online when the push takes place. Use
push installation to install client software on new network computers or to install additional
protection services on computers with existing client software.
The Push Install utility allows you to specify one or more network computers with an Internet
connection as relay servers. You must do so in a separate push operation, because you cannot
push to relay servers and non-relay servers at the same time. See
Enabling relay servers on
page 46 for more information.
