Manage Computers
You can install the Client Recorder in batch to all or some of the computers in the Manage Computers list. The computers must be "detected" in the list before you can install the Client on them (see Adding Computers). For successful installation, make sure all computers meet the remote installation requirements (see Preparing Client Computers).
To install the Client in batch:
Select Manage Computers.
Right-click Manage
Computers (or open the Action
menu) and select All Tasks >
Computer Batch Install Wizard.
A box lists all "Computers in View"
in the left column. Select computers for the installation.
Use Ctrl and Shift to multiple-select, then click Add to copy computers to the "Computers to Install to" list in the right column.
Click Add All to copy all computers to the "Install to" list.
Select a computer and click Remove to remove it from the "Install to" list.
When the list to install to is ready, click OK.
If the Client has already been installed on any of the computers a message asks if you would like to reinstall on those computers.
Choose Yes to install and/or reinstall on ALL computers in the list.
Choose No to install only on computers where the Client is not yet installed.
Select the Client install (.sds)
file to use. The default file is spsetup_Settings.sds. You can customize
and "build" this file using the Deployment Utility,
and it is possible to build several
.sds files with different settings. Click Open.
Choose to install the Spector Client
immediately on all computers, or clear this option and set an install
schedule. ALL computers in the list will receive the schedule for installation.
Click OK to continue.
If you have Windows 98 computers, or if you want to install at a time
when the user will not be interrupted, deselect Install
Spector Immediately and click Set
Install Schedule. On the Schedule panel,
select Once, set a start time
and a day to run on, and click OK.
Note: For Windows 98 computers, there must be an installation schedule set, and the user must be logged in. In this case, you may want to set times to retry the task and a time at which to stop trying.
After you set the schedule for installation, you must enter Administrator-level credentials to install on all of these computers. Use a Domain Administrator account, or an account defined as a local Administrator on each of the computers receiving the installation. Select Automatically supply credentials on the Security Properties panel to use the same credentials for all installations, otherwise you will be prompted for credentials for each computer.
