AVG 8.5 INTERNET SECURITY NETWORK EDITION - V 85.2 User Manual Download

Page: 60 / 234

4.5. Remote network installation - final steps

More options are available when you right-click on the list of stations - a new
context menu appears with the following options:

Refresh - will reload the state of all stations in the list by scanning them
again.

Retrieve the installation log - this option will try to obtain the installation
log from the station (if available).

Note: If AVG installation is successful, the AVG Agent will be removed and
therefore the installation log will not be possible to retrieve.

Export stations without AVG to a file - this option will create a file with
list of stations that do not contain AVG installation.
