Administration Installation Guide
76
Save the download and then run the installer by double-clicking it.
It’s recommended to follow a ‘Typical’ installation – you can alter your
settings later if you wish. Whether from a CD or from a download, the
installation instructions from this point are the same.
Once installed and you have rebooted your PC, NOD32 will
automatically update within one hour. However, you can press ‘Update
now’ immediately. You should then create a Mirror on this machine.
Click this icon once in the system tray, which will open the Control
Center.
The items 1 to 9 below are illustrated in the screenshot on the next page:
Click ‘Mirror’
Click ‘Setup’
Tick ‘Create update mirror’
Tick the ‘Available versions’ you require for your network. ie: WinNT
machines and/or Win9x machines. All versions that will be running on
the workstations should be checked.
Setup a path to the Mirror on your server. You can choose to create
this folder anywhere you wish, but it’s recommended to keep the path
reasonably short (ie: C:\Mirror or C:\NOD32\Mirror or C:\Program Files\
Eset\Mirror)
Tick ‘Require permission to perform program component upgrade’.
Besides the virus signatures database update, a license also includes
program updates – program component upgrades, which require a
restart of the operating system and bring a lot of new features and
improvements to NOD32 (it is an upgrade to a completely new version,
eg: from 2.0 to 2.5). Choose this to ensure that the program component
upgrade will not be applied to a local update server immediately
it is available on the servers of the Eset company. NOD32 on the
workstations will remain in the current version, and the workstations will
only accept virus signatures updates from the mirror. It is up to the user
to consider this option, especially since before updating all workstations
in the network, the new version may be tested in a detached network
dedicated to testing.
Tick ‘Enable access to files via the HTTP protocol’
Click ‘OK’
Click the ‘Update’ button to update your newly created Mirror, since
there may be more components mirrored than are used by the local
system.
If you would prefer a Shared Folder Mirror path, when entering it,
please use the UNC path. Let’s assume that the shared folder is named
NOD32NET and is located on the MAIN server. Then enter the path in
this form: \\MAIN\NOD32NET
