Remote Service Installation

Top Previous Next

The preferred and easiest way of install the EventSentry agents on remote computers is to use remote update from a central location. With remote update, you can install agents, update them to the latest version or push the latest configuration.

You can also install the EventSentry service on a remote computer through the GUI (see Remote Administration for details) and click Install in Service Options (details). Please note that we do not recommend installing the service in this way.

Please make sure that the service is properly installed on the computer running the management application before you perform any type of remote installation, including the remote update installation.

The default administrative share ADMIN$ (which shares the %SYSTEMROOT% directory) will need to exist, otherwise the files cannot be copied to the remote computer.
