-> Remote Installation by computers

(i) Under Network Places, select an endpoint, and then click Add. You can select multiple number of endpoints. You can also search an endpoint by the Find computer utility.

Any endpoint in your network can be searched without enumerating the network.

For adding an endpoint you are required to provide the user credentials of the target endpoint, having administrator rights.

Repeat these steps for all the endpoints that you have selected.

If the entered user credentials are correct, the target endpoints appear in the endpoints selected to protect list.

In case, if you forget or provide an incorrect user credentials of an endpoint, you can click the Skip button and move to the next endpoint and provide its user credentials.

-> Remote Installation by IP Address

(i) Click the Add by IP Address button (you need not select any computer from the Network Places list).

(ii) On the Add Computer by IP Address dialog, select either of the following options:

Add by IP Address Range: If you select this option, you must provide a range of IP Addresses in the Start IP Address option and the End IP Address option. This is helpful if you want to install the Seqrite client on a number of endpoints which are available in serial IP Address range at one go.

Add by IP Address: If you select this option, you need to provide the IP Address of the target endpoint.

Once you have entered the IP Address, click Next.

4) For all the endpoints on which you want to install the client, you must provide the user credentials using the User Accounts option.

5) For User Accounts under Add Computer by IP Address, click Add.

The Add User dialog appears.

6) On the Add User dialog, type the user credentials and then click OK.

Repeat this for all the computers on which you want to install the client.

7) On the User Accounts list, click Finish.

All the endpoints are added to the Endpoints selected to protect the list.
