Requirements for push installation
You must meet these system requirements to deploy the client software using the push installation
method.
Target computers
• Must be in the same Microsoft Windows domain as the administrative computer.
Administrative computer
• Must be running the Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 operating
system.
Push installation is not supported on Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition because Windows XP Home
Edition cannot log on to an Active Directory domain.
• Must have Version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework redistributable package installed.
• Must add File and Print Sharing to the firewall’s Exceptions list when running the Windows firewall.
• Must have a supported web browser installed to access the SecurityCenter and download the file.
(A browser is not required after the file is downloaded.)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 7, 8, 9, and 10)
• Mozilla Firefox (versions 3.0 through 15)
• Google Chrome (versions 4.0 through 21)
• Apple Safari for Windows (version 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1)
Administrator performing push installation
• Must have local system administrator privileges for the domain being installed.
• Must have credentials for logging on to the SecurityCenter. You received them in a Welcome email
after you placed your order.
No separate login credentials are required if you do not rename the downloaded Push Install utility
file and you begin the push installation within 20 minutes after downloading the file. Otherwise,
you are prompted to log on to the SecurityCenter.

Considerations for scheduling push installations
Take these factors into account when scheduling push installations.
• Consider other network tasks. Pushing to a large number of computers simultaneously can
produce a high volume of network traffic, so schedule push installations for times when they will
not affect other network tasks.
• Make sure the target computers are turned on. The Push Install utility installs client software
on target computers that are online and turned on when the push takes place.
• Make sure users are not using the target computers. Restarting a client computer while a
push installation is in progress can cause the computer to become unstable. When installing the
firewall protection service over an existing installation, the computers must be restarted, so
schedule push installations for times when users will not be using their computers.
We recommend scheduling a push installation for the middle of the night, and sending users an email
during the day asking them to leave their computers turned on overnight.
