Logon / email remote install
The Logon and email remote install methods are very similar. They vary only in the way that the einstaller.exe agent
is delivered to client workstations. ESET Remote Administrator allows the agent to be run via logon script or via
email. The einstaller.exe agent can also
be used individually and run via other methods (for more information, see
the following chapter).
While the logon script runs automatically when the user logs on, the email method requires intervention on the
part of the user, who must launch the einstaller.exe agent from the email attachment. If launched repeatedly,
einstaller.exe will not trigger another installation of ESET solutions. For more information, see section 6.4, “Avoiding
repeated installations.”
NOTE:
The line calling the einstaller.exe agent from the logon script can be inserted using a text editor or other proprietary tool.
Similarly, einstaller.exe can be sent as an email attachment by any email client. Regardless of the method used, make sure you
are using the correct einstaller.exe file.
NOTE:
For einstaller.exe to launch, the currently logged in user does not necessarily have to be an administrator. The agent
adopts the required administrator user name / password / domain from the ERAS. For more information, see the end of this
chapter.
