## Install clients remotely with the Push Deployment Wizard

^Back to top

Use the Push Deployment Wizard as an alternative to the Client Deployment Wizard to push the client software to remote computers and automatically install the software. You can use the Push Deployment Wizard (ClientRemote.exe) in the following situations:

- When you want to install client in a remote location where you have few computers and the bandwidth between the two locations is very low. You cannot install all the clients at one time.

- As a backup when the Client Deployment Wizard does not work. The Client Deployment Wizard is integrated into Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

- To deploy client installation packages from any computer, even when you don't have access to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. You need Administrator rights to the Windows domain to which the client computers belong, or to the computers themselves if they are in workgroups.

- If you have a pre-existing client installation package created from Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. If you want to create a new package or custom package, you must use the Client Deployment Wizard.

For example, a domain administrator may want to share the work of deploying thousands of clients installation packages with a backup administrator. However, the domain administrator does not want to share the access to the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console. In that case, the domain administrator can share the Push Deployment Wizard and the pre-existing client installation packages. This action would help divide the job.

Before you run the Push Deployment Wizard, perform the following tasks:

1. Copy the Tools/PushDeploymentWizard folder to the computer on which you are running the wizard.

2. Configure the Windows and Mac computers to install the client.

   Preparing Windows and Mac computers for remote deployment

3. Export the client installation package from the management server to the computer you use.
