Introduction
The product NOD32 Remote Administrator
enables remote installations of NOD32 for Windows to
workstations in a network.
Remote installation can be divided into two parts:
• Creation of installation packages and their
conguration
• Export to remote workstations. In the NOD32 Remote
Administrator console, navigate to the “Remote
Install” tab. This tab deals with remote install.
NOD32 Remote Administrator oers two basic ways
of how to install NOD32 for Windows remotely:
• Push installation, where the installation is “pushed”
to remote workstations directly on administrator’s
command. This is possible only assuming that there
is a Windows NT based operating system installed on
workstations (NT4, 2000, XP…).
• Installation using the short installer nod32installer.
exe, exported to workstations in a logon script or in an
e-mail. To install the program, run nod32installer.exe
on a client workstation. This type of installation can
be used on computers with all versions of Windows
(beginning from the version 95).
Minimal requirements for successful remote instal-
lation:
• Operation of a client workstation in Microsoft
network
• Operation of the les and printers sharing (+
exception in integrated rewall in Windows XP)
• NT systems: knowledge of username/password with
administrator rights on given workstations. Without
it the remote installation cannot be performed
• At least these ports should be available on RA server:
2222 (communication of NOD32 for Windows with RA
server), 2223 (communication of RA console with RA
server), 2224 (feedback to RA server during remote
installation).
• Accessibility of client on the level of ”network places”
towards RA server
• Dened administrator account password in NT
systems (the remote installation is not possible
without dened administrator account password)
• With Windows XP it is required to disable the option
“Use simple le sharing”. To disable this option, go to
Control panel/Folder Option
In both cases, TCP/IP connection between target
workstation and RA server is established on port 2224.
That’s why a properly congured TCP/IP protocol is among
minimal requirements for a successful installation.
For the NT based systems it is necessary to provide:
– operation of a client workstation in Microsoft
network,
– operation of the le sharing service,
– operation of these services: Remote Registry
Service, Remote Service Manager.
– username and password with administrator rights
for all workstations. Remote Install is not possible
without username / password of a user with
administrator rights to all computers – without it,
installation cannot be performed.
Especially on computers with the MS Windows XP
operating system, it is required to disable the option “Use
Simple le sharing”. To disable this option, go to Control
Panel / Folder Options … in the View tab.
In Windows registry, it is: HKLM\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
- the forceguest item. Set its value to 0.
Note: NOD32 can be installed remotely also without
using NOD32 Remote Administrator. More details in the
chapter 2.
