How to automate the installation process for the workstations?

To automate the workstations installation process you can generate a setup.xml file from the Business Server, from Tools / Generate Setup File .

The XML file will contain default connection settings. Just export this XML, and place it in the same folder with the setup of the workstation application ( setup.exe ). The setup program will automatically take the configuration details from this XML file and you will not have to set them manually for all the workstations.

     

You can manually edit the XML file if neccesary, to a different external IP or port.

Example of setup.xml

<enterprise>
  <domain>backupserver.yourdomain.com</domain>
  <port>80</port>
  <path>/</path>
</enterprise>

After installation the workstation registration in the server must be approved. Open the Computers section, select all newly installed computers and approve them. Alternatively you can select the Auto-Approve New Computers option in Options/General Settings before registering new computers.
