Good Afternoon,
Perhaps I’m overlooking the obvious but I have installed Avast Small Office Adminstration on our windows Server 2003 computer and then added attempted to add a computer to the console.
Do i put the IP address under name or dns hostname or anywhere? I literally can’t the other computer with the Web interface. So I ran the client install on the end point but don’t see anywhere in the client to specify the server.
What am I missing here please?
Within the SOA Console, did you run “Computer Discovery” within Jobs?
I did, I think it had something to do with the fact that the computer I was running it on wasn’t on the domain with the ones I wanted to protect. The next problem I had was that installed the server software on a server that is on the domain and it started trying to install on EVERY COMPUTER on my network instead of just the 60 I wanted it on.
So my question will be if I skip discovery can I just manually install and not have to worry about it trying to put itself on computers automatically?
Absolutely. You can download the install package from the SOA console, and run the installer it on each machine under an administrative login.
That seems to be working perfectly well. Thanks very much.
It’s how we did it too… Except we have a tool that can elevate process privledges to effectively “run as administrator” via script.
