Deploying client software with Find Unmanaged Computers
You can deploy client software by using Find Unmanaged Computers in the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. The utility lets you discover the client computers that do not run client software and then install the client software on those computers.
Note:
You can use this utility only to discover Windows client computers. Mac client computers are listed in the utility as Unknown, and Mac client install packages must be deployed separately.
Warning:
This utility detects and displays a variety of networking devices in the unknown computers tab. For example, this utility detects router interfaces and places them in the unknown computers tab. You should use caution when you deploy client software to devices that appear in the unmanaged computers tab. Verify that these devices are valid targets for client software deployment.
You can also deploy client software by using the Push Deployment Wizard.
To deploy client software by using Find Unmanaged Computers
In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console, click Clients.
In the Find Unmanaged Computers window, under Search By, check IP address range, and enter the IP addresses for the range to search.
Scanning a range of 100 IP addresses that do not exist takes approximately 5.5 minutes. Optionally, specify a computer name.
Under Logon Credentials, complete the User name, Password, and Domain-Workgroup boxes with the logon credentials that permit administration and installation.
On either the Unknown Computers or Unmanaged Computers tabs, do one of the following:
Under Installation, select the installation package, the installation option, and the features that you want to install.
To install to a group other than the default group, click Change, select a different group, and then click OK.
When you are ready to install the client software, click Start Installation.
