Software distribution

Policy Manager offers multiple methods of installing and updating managed applications.

Policy Manager can install software to new hosts that are not yet under
centralized management. Hosts can be browsed from Windows domains using

Push installations

the

Autodiscover Windows hosts

feature, or the target host can be specified

directly by WINS name or IP address using the

Push install to Windows host

feature. In addition to first time installations, push installation features can be
used to update or repair installations whenever the policy-based installations
are not suitable.

Policy Manager can initiate installation and update operations with policy based
triggering. This requires that the hosts are already under centralized
management, i.e. included in a policy domain in Policy Manager Console.

Policy-based installations

Installation can be performed independently on the host by running the setup
directly from the CD-ROM. After installation, Management Agent sends a

updates from CD-ROM

registration message to Policy Manager. The administrator can then view and
accept the new host by choosing the

Import autoregistered hosts

command

from the

Edit

menu in Policy Manager Console.

Instead of using the standard CD-ROM setup, you can use Policy Manager to
prepare a customized installation package (JAR or MSI) that includes information

updates with
pre-configured packages

about the settings used for the installation. The end user’s computer can be set
up silently, since the pre-configured package contains all of the settings that
are normally requested from the user.

Policy Manager can update the latest anti-virus databases by downloading them
automatically from the F-Secure Automatic Update site. Managed hosts will

fetch the updates from Policy Manager according to the host policy, either
automatically or with remotely triggered operations.

Shortcuts to all the installation-related features are gathered under the

Installation

tab.

Push installations

This section describes how to push installation packages to hosts.

The only difference between the

Autodiscover Windows hosts

and the

Push install to Windows hosts

features is how the target hosts are selected: autodiscover browses the Windows domains and user can
select the target hosts from a list of hosts, push install allows you to define the target hosts directly with IP
addresses or host names. After the target hosts are selected, both push installation operations proceed the
same way.

Note:

Before you start to install F-Secure products on hosts, you should make sure there are no conflicting

antivirus or firewall programs installed on them.

Autodiscover Windows hosts

Target hosts can be selected with the

Autodiscover

feature.

To select target hosts:

Select the target domain.
