Network Discovery, secondary networks?

Avast Business Avast Distributed Network Manager

Ok,

Our Parent office has it’s own network, that is based on 192.168.0.~ range. We also have a secondary office on it’s own network (192.168.4.~ range). we are connected via hardware VPN tunnel.

What I would like is to have the secondary network’s computers added to my ADNM, and have it manage the Avast! installations on them (they do not have Avast! yet).

Is this possible, and if so… how?

Or will I have to have 2 separate ADNM installations for the 2 networks?

If the computers on the different segments can communicate with eachother, it shouldn’t be a problem. I think that the IP of the server is included in the install-package you can create from the console, therefor it will connect to the server after installation, if the network allows it.
If the network doesn’t allow broadcast to be transfered between segment, and the clients somehow has forgotten the server IP, you can use a command in loginscript to set clients up to connect to correct IP:

if not exist "%programfiles%\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswChAms.exe" goto noavast
"%programfiles%\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswChAms.exe" 192.168.1.101
:noavast

or

if exist "%programfiles%\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswChAms.exe" "%programfiles%\Alwil Software\Avast4\aswChAms.exe" 192.168.1.101

This is of course an example, check your path to the program, and change IP.

I’m slightly puzzled as to how that lets me find/add new computers?..

Isn’t that for computers that already have the client installed?

I gather this is not possible…

That is correct. Only for computers with client allready installed. I see no possibility to use the discovery task on the server to find computers on segmented networks as it works today. But the script could do you good on the existing clients, I bet.
