AVG Anti Virus Installation on Client Workstations 

4.1 Installation Options 

AVG Anti Virus can be remotely installed on workstations/servers in several ways: 

a)

Direct installation 

Directly, you can install the AVG Anti Virus manually on every single workstation/server in the 

network, and then connect them manually to the AVG Remote Administration. This option can be used 

for all Windows platforms. 

(For a detailed description of AVG Anti Virus installation please refer to the AVG 7.1 for Windows 

Workstation Reference Guide; for download in the Download/Documentation section of 

http://www.grisoft.com

 website.) 

b)

Remote installation with AVG S Tool for Windows NT4 and higher 

In the Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP Professional operating systems environment mass AVG 

Anti Virus installation to all network workstations can be performed using the AVG S Tool. 

Select a workstation in the network and install AVG Anti Virus on it.  

Define the AVG Anti Virus configuration as an example configuration for all other stations in 

the network.  

On the same workstation then install AVG S Tool. 

Based on the configuration of AVG Anti Virus installed on the station, AVG S Tool will create a 

template configuration, and send it to all other network workstations together with the AVG 

Agent program that secures the AVG Anti Virus installation on a single workstation. 

AVG Agent then installs AVG Anti Virus with the pre defined configuration on every network 

workstation. 

Within the Windows NT4/2000/2003/XP Professional operating systems environment the 

administrator/domain administrator rights are necessary for central AVG Anti Virus installation. 

c)

Remote installation with AVG S Tool for Windows 95/98/Me/XP Home 

In the Windows 95/98/Me and Win XP Home operating systems environment mass AVG Anti 

Virus installation to all network workstations can be performed using the AVG Agent program that 

secures running AVG Anti Virus installation on a single workstation.  

Locate the AVG Agent executable file on the server. 

Install AVG Agent on the Windows 95/98/ME and Win XP Home workstation. 

Run AVG S Tool on the server and install AVG Anti Virus to the Windows 95/98/ME and Win 

XP Home workstation where the AVG Agent is installed. 

See the chapter 

5.5 AVG Anti Virus Installation on Windows 95/98/ME and Win XP Home

 for further 

details. 

4.2 Installation Script 

The installation script is used to create a configuration template with the example AVG Anti Virus user 

configuration. The installation script takes over the AVG Anti Virus configuration defined on the 

workstation, where the script is being created. The configuration is then packed and becomes part of the 

package for automatic installation on other network workstations. 

You can influence the installation progress by pre setting the SETUP.EXE command line parameters. This 

way you can call the installation process with the preset license number, the specified components to be 

installed, etc.
