Hi guys and gals,
I am new here so please help if you can. I have installed ADNM on a server 2008 machine and in my network i am using Active directory. I have followed all the instructions and failed to deploy the Client Network automatically so i have gone the manual route.
;D
5.2 Manual Installation
If for any reason you are unable to use the Automatic Installation procedure
described in the previous section, you’ll have to deploy the avast! products to the
network manually. To make this process easier, copy the installation package to a
network share so that you won’t have to distribute it to every machine separately.
You can do this can be done by copying the InstPkgs subfolder of the AMS
installation folder. This folder contains all files needed to install any supported
managed product. The folder also contains the file setup.exe that will be used to
start the installation. The program should be run with the following parameters
setup.exe /client /createprogress /sfx /sfxstorage
(in the case of workstation install), or
setup.exe /server /createprogress /sfx /sfxstorage
(in the case of server install), where stands for the full path name
of the folder with the installation packages (and the setup.exe program itself). It
may be set to “.” if you have the current directory set to that folder.
To avoid visiting each and every machine on the network and to run the
installation program manually, you may consider the following methods:
• Placing the installation command in a logon script. This method is quite
effective but has one major drawback — on Windows NT-based systems, you
may experience installation failures caused by insufficient user rights. This is
because the logon script usually runs in the context of a user who’s logging on,
and in most network scenarios many users don’t have local administrative
rights on the machine, which are required by the installer. Fortunately, this is
not an issue on Windows 95/98/ME-based systems.
• Sending out an e-mail containing a hyperlink to the installation program in the
shared folder on the server, with instructions to your users to click on that link
and follow the installation wizard. This can be also quite efficient (if your users
are sufficiently computer-literate), but unfortunately the user rights problem
remains.
• Wrapping the avast! installation files in an MSI (Microsoft Installer) package
and distributing the MSI package by other means, such as ActiveDirectory or
Microsoft Systems Management Server.
When i create a batch file to deploy i am getting an error right at the end.
