Creating a Remote Installation
The FaxPress remote installation program allows you to pre-configure the client installation program and install it on a network drive for end user installation.
Things to consider before you start:
| ■ | Decide whether you are going to make the remote installation available on a network drive for end user installation, or whether you are going to “push” the program on to the end users workstations with a program like SMS or Zen Works. If you are going to place it on a network drive or shared drive, have the drive parameters available before initiating the installation process. |
| ■ | The remote installation creation process is two basic steps: |
1. First the client installation program is copied to the drive that you designate, then
2. The installation configuration procedure is performed to configure the remote installation for silent running. This is the same installation configuration process that is performed for a standalone client installation. Among other parameters, you will be asked to provide the client installation destination directory and the client installation network type. Be sure that the drive letter you designate is available for every end user and that they are all on the same network type.
| ■ | At the end of the installation configuration process the program will tell you that the workstation must be restarted for all the changes to take effect and ask you whether you want to restart now or later. Be sure to choose Restart Now. |
| ■ | Finally, at the end of the whole process the pre-configured remote client installation will be available in the drive you designate. The program name is rsetup.exe. |
To create a remote installation of the FaxPress client:
| 1. | Perform step 1 through step 5 in the Installing the FaxPress Administrator Client above. |
| 2. | To create a remote FaxPress client installation, click on the Create remote installation for user button in the Select Component installation screen. |
| 3. | The next screen, Destination Path, requests the location for your remote client installation. |
| 4. | So that all of your FaxPress users can access the remote client installation, choose either a network path or a shared directory. Make sure that all your end users have the network or shared drive mapped to the same drive letter. |
| 5. | From here on follow step 5 through step 11 in the Installing the User Client section. Be sure to select Restart Now to reboot the client workstation. |
