Completing Deployment

Introduction

Deployment of Spector CNE consists of these steps.

Install all Server Components.

Follow the instructions in the Spector CNE Deployment Guide. After installation, the Control Center, Data Vault, and Primary Server service icons should appear in the system tray (notification area) at the bottom of your screen.

Use the Windows Start menu to access the Control Center.
Double-click the Primary Server icon and make sure your serial number is registered and unlocked. You need one Client license for each computer you plan to record.

Add computers to the Control Center.

Start the Control Center application. You are prompted to "add a computer" to the Manage Computers view.

Select Start > All Programs > Spector CNE > Spector CNE Control Center

Computers must be listed here before you can install the Client. You can add each computer by domain and computer name and immediately install the Client, or obtain a list of computers in another way. See Working with the Computer List.

Install the Client on network computers.

You can install the Client immediately after "adding" the computer, or choose any computer in your Manage Computers list, right-click, and select Install Spector Client. When prompted, select the default settings file (spsetup_Settings.sds) and provide Administrator (i.e., Domain Administrator) credentials for this computer.

The icon in the Manage Computers list indicates the Client is installed and recording. Other options are available for installing are:

Install in batch...
Install on a group...
Install manually at the Client computer...

Monitor the Clients and Server Components.

Use the Control Center to manage all Servers and Clients from one central location.

Use the Manage Computers view to add and remove Clients.
Use the Configure Computers view to re-configure Client Settings for recording, alerting, or blocking.
Use the Monitor Users view to select a user and view Client recordings. make sure you share the Data Vault folders where recordings are stored for the managers using a standalone Viewer.

The provided Client Install file (spsetup_Settings.sds) gives you a default Client configuration. Use the Deployment Utility to adjust the settings for each type of recording, choose which users to record, choose Internet sites to block, set up Keyword Alerts, and more before you install the Client.
