■ Remote Push Installation
Remote push installation lets you control the client installation. Remote push
installation pushes the client software to the computers that you specify. The
installation begins automatically.
See “Deploying clients by using Remote Push Installation” on page 50.
■ Custom Installation
Custom installation creates an executable installation package that you
distribute to the client computers. Users run a setup.exe file to install the client
software.
See “Deploying clients by using Custom Installation” on page 51.
Deploying clients by using Email Notification Installation
Email Notification Installation is the recommended method for installing the
client software. Email Notification Installation is easy to use. Users receive an
email message that contains a link to download and install the client software.
Email Notification Installation performs the following actions:
■ Create the client installation packages.
Client installation packages are created for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
computers. The installation packages are stored on the computer that runs
Symantec Protection Center.
■ Notify the computer users about the client installation packages.
An email message is sent to selected computer users. The email message
contains instructions to download and install the client installation packages.
Users follow the instructions to install the client software. You or the computer
users must restart the computers after installation.
You may start the client deployment from the console.
