  2. Click the Installation tab.

  3. Click the Download distribution tool link.

Installing the protection

  1. Go to Start, Programs, Panda Distribution tool or click the shortcut on the Windows desktop.

  2. In the tool's console, select Install protection. The Protection installation window will open, which allows you distribute the protection in two ways:

Distribution by domain

  1. Enter the group to add computers to when installing the protection. This selection will define the configuration policies that will be applied to those computers.

  2. In the network tree, select the domains or computers on which you want to install the protection.

  3. Use a user name and password with administrator permissions to carry out the installation. The user name must be entered using the domain\user name format.

  4. Once you have entered this data, click Install to generate the installation tasks.

 

Distribution by IP address or computer name

  1. Enter the group to add computers to when installing the protection. This selection will define the configuration policies that will be applied to those computers.

  2. Add the names or IP addresses of the computers on which you want to install the protection, separated by commas. You can also select IP ranges (use the “-“ symbol for ranges, e.g. 172.18.15.10 – 172.18.15.50).

  3. Use a user name and password with administrator permissions to carry out the installation. The user name must be entered using the domain\user name format.

  4. Click Install to generate the installation task.

  5. Check the console to see whether the installation task has been created successfully. The installation process will begin transparently to the user.

  6. Restart the computer if prompted.
