This section contains information on how to install an application remotely on an administration group, devices with specific IP addresses, or a selection of managed devices.
To install an application on specific devices:
In the main menu, go to DEVICES → TASKS.
Click Add.
The Add Task Wizard starts.
In the Task type field, select Install application remotely.
The task is assigned to devices included in an administration group. You can specify one of the existing groups or create a new one.
For example, you may want to use this option to run a task of sending a message to users if the message is specific for devices included in a specific administration group.
If a task is assigned to an administration group, the Security tab is not displayed in the task properties window because group tasks are subject to the security settings of the groups to which they apply.
You can specify NetBIOS names, DNS names, IP addresses, and IP subnets of devices to which you want to assign the task.
You may want to use this option to execute a task for a specific subnet. For example, you may want to install a certain application on devices of accountants or to scan devices in a subnet that is probably infected.
The task is assigned to devices included in a device selection. You can specify one of the existing selections.
For example, you may want to use this option to run a task on devices with a specific operating system version.
Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
The Add Task Wizard creates a task for remote installation of the application selected in the Wizard on specified devices. If you selected the Assign task to an administration group option, the task is a group one.
Run the task manually or wait for it to launch according to the schedule that you specified in the task settings.
When the remote installation task is completed, the selected application is installed on the specified devices.
