Remote Administrator
NOD32 Remote Administrator serves to manage the
NOD32 antivirus system in large computer networks.
Thanks to NOD32 Remote Administrator, you can get
a global overview of the NOD32 antivirus system activity
on network workstations together with information about
any eventual inltration. The information retrieved from
workstations (from NOD32 for Windows, or the NOD32
Control Center module) are stored centrally on the server
(NOD32 Remote Administrator – RAS), and the network
administrator can access them at once using the user-
friendly graphical interface of the console (NOD32 Remote
Administrator Console – RAC
). The communication takes
place also in the opposite direction and the administrator
can thus immediately react to newly-created situations,
and assign tasks to the NOD32 Antivirus System on the
client workstations.
Figure 2: Simple RA connection diagram. The real situation can be much more complex. There can be also
a separate mirror server – though usually RA server and Mirror would be located on one computer/server.
The connection to RAS is initiated by the workstations in preset intervals.
Installation of RAS and RAC, basic
conguration
NOD32 Remote Administrator Server (from now
on only referred to as RAS) – is an application which
communicates with NOD32 on workstations (or with
NOD32 Control Center), gathers information about them
and sends them to the other application – NOD32 Remote
Administrator Console (RAC). It is advised to install RAS on
a PC that is running all the time and that is “visible” for the
workstations with NOD32 on the TCP/IP level, but also for
the PCs, from which the administrator will connect using
the console (RAC). The product must be installed on the MS
Windows NT based operating system (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003).
RAS is installed by running the le rasrvnten.exe. RAS
is installed as a service.
