Deploying clients by using Remote Push
Remote Push lets you control the client installation. Remote Push pushes the client software to the computers that you specify. Using Remote Push requires knowledge of how to search networks to locate computers by IP address or computer names.
See About client deployment methods.
Remote Push perforåms the following actions:
• Select an existing client installation package or create a new installation package.
• For new installation packages, configure package deployment settings
• Locate computers on your network.
Remote Push locates the computers that you specify or the computers that are discovered to be unprotected.
