The username and password of the account under which the installation of the package is to be performed must be an
account with administrator rights or, preferably, a domain administrator account. Values inserted in the
Default Logon…
dialog window are forgotten after each service (ERAS) restart.
4.2.5 Custom remote install
It is not a requirement to use ERA tools to remotely install ESET client solutions. In the end, the most important aspect
is to deliver and execute the
einstaller.exe
file on client workstations.
For
einstaller.exe
to launch, the user currently logged in does not necessarily have to be an administrator. The agent
adopts the required administrator username/password/domain from ERAS. For more information, see the end of this
chapter.
The
einstaller.exe
file can be obtained as follows:
From the
Computers
tab (in the
Remote Install
tab), right-click anywhere in the tab, choose
Export to Folder or Logon Script
from the context menu and select the
Type
and name of the
Package
to be
installed.
Click the
…
button next to
Folder
and select the directory where
einstaller.exe
will be exported.
Click the
Export to Folder
button.
Use the extracted
einstaller.exe
file.
NOTE:
The
”Direct installation with predefined XML configuration”
method can be used in situations where it is possible to
provide administrator rights for the installation. The
.msi
package is launched using the
/qn
parameter (version s 4.x, 3.
x) or the
/silentmode
parameter (version 2.x). These parameters will run the installation without displaying a user
interface.
