Remote install in detail
In this chapter you can find more detailed information about the remote
install process.
In the case of a Push installation, the following operations take place:
RAS contacts a remote workstation and attempts to authorize the
connection by the username and password created and entered by
the administrator from the RAC (the password cannot be left blank, or
the connection will not work).
If successful, the RAS connects to the workstation using share
ADMIN$ and starts copying the file nod32installer.exe belonging to
the installation package.
The file nod32installer.exe is started as a service and executed.
After that, nod32installer.exe contacts the RA server on port 2224
(TCP) and starts downloading the corresponding installation package.
When the download finishes successfully, the installation of the
package starts, together with predefined attributes (configurations,
command line parameters, etc...)
In the case of the variant “Export to logon script“, or “Send via E-mail“, the
process starts with the running of the file nod32installer.exe (either manual
– by user, or automatic, eg: from logon script). Then these operations take
place:
The file nod32installer.exe is started as a service and executed.
After that, nod32installer.exe contacts the RAS on port 2224 (TCP)
and starts downloading the corresponding installation package.
If there is also a Windows NT based operating system (ie: Windows
2000/XP, etc.), the RAS provides logon information – an account
(username / password), that will be used for the installation .
When the download finishes successfully, the installation of the
package starts, together with predefined attributes (configurations,
command line parameters, etc...)
NB: Username / password, or administrator account on that workstation
must be defined in the RAC. To define it, click on the “Logon” button in the
“Remote Install” (Set Default Logon for E-mail and Logon Script).
