Installing Total Protection Service The push installation process 3 Initiate a push to one or more relay servers (optional). Considerations for scheduling push installations 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, 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.

Considerations for scheduling push installations
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, 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.
