General points to watch out for when installing
remotely
Especially on computers with the MS Windows XP operating system,
‘Simple file sharing’ should NOT be enabled. This will stop connections
to the server. To disable this option, go to Start > Control Panel > Folder
Options > View tab.
In Windows registry, it is:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
Lsa
....the
forceguest
item. Set its value to 0.
Make sure any firewalls on the clients does not also interfere with
connections during installation.
As a rule of thumb, IMON should not be enabled on your server. IMON
monitors port activity at the winsock level. A typical server (depending
on the number of clients accessing) running an application which
opens and closes a large number of “winsock” connections, over a long
period of time, may result in a significant resource drain. In the case of
IMON (coupled with Windows), it may not be able to keep up with this
incredibly fast paced I/O (Input/Output). IMON may not be able to open
and close sockets fast enough (or not at all) and use all the available
memory for (possibly pending) operations causing the affected server to
reboot itself to regain resources as a protective measure.
Given that a server is not used as a workstation for accessing email or
surfing the internet, IMON is therefore not necessary anyway.
Make sure, as you are the administrator of your network, that you have
set your admin’s logon name and password to access all your clients. If
the password is left blank, connection to your clients will not work.
If installing onto WinNT/2000/XP machines via logon script or email, a
logon name and password must be defined in the RA console. To set it
up, go the
Remote Install
tab and in the
Set Default Logon for E-mail
and Logon Script
, click the
Logon
button.
Whichever method of remote installation you choose, the TCP/IP
connection between target workstations and RAS is established on port
2224 (only for the installation process). That’s why a properly configured
TCP/IP protocol is among the minimal requirements for a successful
installation.
For WinNT/2000/XP/2003 operating systems it is necessary to provide:
Client workstations in a Microsoft Windows Network.
“File & Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks” must be enabled
(Control Panel -> Network Connections > Network > Properties)
The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service needs to be running
on the target.
The Remote Registry service needs to be running on the target.
The RPC Locater service should be set to “manual” and need not
be running.
