Client Software Deployment

 

Policies defined by the administrator are enforced on the network by the Desktop Control Client software, the client-side within the product framework. All communication between the client software and the server is done via TCP/IP.

On Windows NT4, 2000 and XP platforms, the client software runs as a system service and can be deployed automatically.

For deploying clients, you should have administrative privileges on the workstation.

If the system you want to deploy the client service on is not currently on your LAN, you can do it manually.

On Windows 95, 98 and ME platforms, the client software runs as an application. The client service needs to be installed manually on machines running on these platforms.

The Deploy folder that opens during installation contains the executable files for manual deployment. A shortcut to this folder is also provided on the Windows Start bar.

 

Windows NT4/2000/XP

You can deploy the client service on Windows NT4/2000/XP machines in any of the following ways.

 1.      Automatically deploy client service through the Deployment Assistant.

a.      Specify the IP range on which you wish to deploy the client service on.

b.      Enter the Server IP address and the User Name and Password for the specified IP range. The user name and password you enter should be the same for the IP range specified.

c.      Click the respective radio buttons to get the version of the client service installed on the specified computer(s) OR to install a new version OR to uninstall the old version.

d.      Enable Operate Continuously to perform the above functions on the selected computers continuously. When you select a host from the list, the status of the client service on the host during specific times will be displayed below the list of hosts.

e.      The Save Output tab lets you save the status of the client service on a specified range in .txt format at any location on your computer.

f.       Click the Start/Stop/Exit buttons as the case may be.

OR

2.     Manually load the clnt2k.exe setup application on the remote computers you wish to set policies for. You need to copy the setup file onto the workstation from your remote computer physically. Enter the desired Server IP address. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation. 

 

Please make the following changes before installing Desktop Control Client on Windows XP Professional OR Windows XP Service Pack 2 systems: 

 

For Windows XP Professional client systems that are not joined to a domain

1. Go to Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Local Security Policy >> Security Options

2. Set the option on Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts to

Classic: Local users authenticate as themselves.

(The default setting will be "Guest: Local users authenticate as Guest")

 

Windows XP Service Pack 2 client systems

Windows XP SP2 has integrated Windows Firewall that blocks FTP clients by default. This would require users to manually allow many programs or open ports on these systems, so that the programs can function correctly.

Please refer this link- http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;842242 - for details on this provided by Microsoft.

Enterprise Manager server - client uses FTP connections to communicate. Though the user gets to deploy the client through the Deployment Assistant, the client component will not be able to connect to the server because Windows Firewall blocks it by default. So the solution is to either disable the Windows Firewall itself on the client system or to add the Enterprise Manager client programs to the Firewall Exception List. A user can choose either of the two options. Please follow the instructions given below:

 1. Disable Windows Firewall

Go to Control Panel >> Security Center >> Manage Security Settings for >> Windows Firewall >> General tab and switch OFF the firewall. Then click OK.

OR

2. Add EM Client programs to the Windows Firewall Exception List .(This lets you keep the Firewall ON and still get the EM client to work correctly).

Go to Control Panel >> Security Center >> Manage Security Settings for >> Windows Firewall >> Exceptions tab and click the 'Add Program' button >> Browse the Installation path for "dcmsvc" folder >> Then Add "dcmsvc.exe", "dcmapp_ts.exe", "ftpserv.exe", "installhook.exe", "lock.exe" and "AntiSpy.exe" on the Exception list (one by one) >> Enable these programs in their respective checkboxes on the Exception List >> Click OK.

After making any of the above 2 changes, the user can login to the Enterprise Manager Admin Console and view the client workstation on the My Site view mode, activate policies, and access reports.

 

Windows 95/98/ME

Manually load the clnt9x.exe setup application on the remote computers you wish to set policies for. You need to copy the setup file onto the remote computer/s from the remote location physically. Enter the desired Server IP address. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

 

 

For Novell Workstation Client Environment:

For installation of Desktop Control Client on workstations configured for Novell clients:

1. Go to the <Omniquad Enterprise Server Installation Path>\Deploy folder

2. Open the "clntconf.ini" file using Notepad.

3. Edit the text "EnableNovell =FALSE" in the file and change to "EnableNovell =TRUE"

4. Save the changes to the file and close it.

 Now you can deploy to Novell client workstations through the Deployment Assistant or manually.

 

  

How do I know that the client software has been successfully deployed?

Logon to the Enterprise Manager and click on the Client Status view - you will see a new icon for each workstation you deployed the client software service on.

 

 

Manage Security Permissions

 

Set and manage permissions for Enterprise Manager administration from this window.  You can create new application logins to grant restricted access to specific AntiSpy/Enterprise Manager features for different users.

You can set and create Enterprise Manager Administrators, users and for user groups here. Security Permissions that you set here will define whether a user or group has access to feature options on the management console.

By default the administrator account is a member of the Administrator’s group and all privileges are active for the group. The privileges are Not Set for the Administrator account itself and will inherit the properties defined for the Administrators Group it belongs to. Privileges allowed or denied for a user account will take precedence over the privileges that apply to the group that user belongs to.

1.      Select administrator on the screen and set the password for the account. You can access the Enterprise Manager interface using the password you enter here further on.

2.      Click on edit User to set privileges and define Group memberships.

3.      Click on the New Group button to create a new User Group and set privileges for the group.

4.      Add more users other than administrator with permission settings different from the administrator.   Please note: The usernames you set should not have any spaces (blank characters).
