Requirements
To use the push installation method:
The administrative computer must be running the Windows 2000, Windows XP
Professional, or Windows Vista operating system.
The administrative computer must be running Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or later, with
ActiveX enabled.
At the administrative computer, you must be logged on with domain administrator privileges
for the domain being installed.
Administrative computers running the Windows firewall and Windows XP Professional or
Windows Vista must add File and Print Sharing to the firewall’s Exceptions list. For
instructions, see the Push Install Help, available by clicking the
help link in any dialog box
when you run the Push Install utility.
All target computers must be logged on to the same Windows domain as the administrator.
Considerations for scheduling push installations
When scheduling push installations:
Consider other network tasks. Pushing to a large number of computers simultaneously can
produce a high volume of network traffic, so schedule push installations for times when they
will not affect other network tasks.
Make sure the target computers are turned on. The Push Install utility installs client
software on target computers that are online when the push takes place.
Make sure users are not using the target computers. Restarting a client computer while a
push installation is in progress can cause the computer to become unstable, so schedule push
installations for times when users will not be turning off or restarting their computers.
Online help for the Push Install utility is available by clicking the help link in any dialog box
during installation.
Note
Push installation is not supported on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition because Windows
XP Home Edition cannot log on to an Active Directory domain.
