I need some FlexInstaller help.

[Swanny]

I'm trying to use the flex installer to setup clients on 4 PCs for a friend. I have the PCs picked out, I have the user_info.sah file, and I put in the proxy. But the clients don't download WUs or start working when I install them. First off, what is the process name I'm looking for? Second off, do I need to put the http:// in front of the proxy's IP addy? (I've tried it both ways, and it still doesn't work.) Is there something else I should know? (Needing to be logged on as an admin or a shutdown or something?)

These computers could make at least 10WUs a day between them, so I'd really like to get them up.


Thanks,
Swan

What OS? If its Win9x then you'll need a rebbot and run the installer again, if its Win2K, NT, or XP then you'll need a common administrator account password to get it to install on all the machines. I have seen that it might need a reboot on *some* machines if the VB6 hasnt already been installed. Bot should be able to answer that question for us.

All the machines are running Win 2K.

So you're saying I need to log in as the same user (with admin priviliges) and the same password on all the computers before it will work?

 

[Shuxclams]

you have to be logged in as administrator at the local computer, that administrator account has to exsist on all the PC's so that you'll have rights to install.

Ok, I get it. Thanks for the help everyone. I'll report back if I have any more problems.

 

[Swanny]

Oh yes, and do I or do I not need the http:// in front of the proxy's IP address?

Thanks,
Swan

the http is not needed.

Shux: Doesn't he need to be a domain admin? If he's a local admin on one NT/2K box it's not going to give him rights to remotely admin another NT/2K box unless he's logged in with an admin username/password on the local box that's also on the remote box.

 

[Shuxclams]

Actually if the local admin password is the same on all the machines that will work. But yes preferably Domain Admin.
