3. Copy the SETUP.ISS file you created when you ran the recorded
installation on your administrative computer to the VirusScan directory
on the central server. You'll find the file you need to copy in the
WINDOWS directory on your administrative computer.
your preferences" on page 50
Once you finish this step, your users or your network management
application can run Setup in its silent mode to replicate the installation
you recorded.
È
IMPORTANT: Network Associates recommends that you use the
SETUP.ISS file you created to perform a test installation on a single
workstation before you use it to deploy the VirusScan program
across your network.
To run Setup in silent mode, include the line <X>:\SETUP.EXE -S in any
login script you write or any instructions to your users that describe how to
run Setup. In this line, <X> represents the path to the folder on the server that
contains the VirusScan installation files and the SETUP.ISS file you created.
The -S tells Setup to run in silent mode. By default, Setup restarts the
workstation when it has finished installing files.
If you do not want Setup to reboot each target workstation, you must edit the
SETUP.ISS file you created during your recorded installation. Here, you
would change the value in the BootOption entry beneath the heading
[sdFinishReboot - 0] from its current value to zero (0). This tells Setup not to
force the target workstation to reboot.
As a further step toward enforcing a consistent anti-virus security policy
across your network, you can also copy a configuration file with the options
you want your users to have, into the installation directory on each
workstation. You can also use password protection to prevent unauthorized
changes to the configuration settings you chose. To learn how to save your
settings in a configuration file, see "Using VirusScan menus" in your
VirusScan User's Guide. To learn how to protect your settings with a password,
see "Enabling password protection" in your VirusScan User's Guide.
‡
NOTE: To preset your configuration options so that the VirusScan
program installs with them already in place, use the Network Associates
ISeamless scripting utility. This utility gives you complete control over
installation and configuration options. Contact your sales representative
or Network Associates Technical Support for details.
