Step #2

Consider workstation/server locations for the ESP Management Console to reside and where the client files will be held (Note: Users will require READ access, Administrator will need READ/WRITE access).

Step #3

Install ESP2 Management Console using the download from #1 onto the chosen workstation/server (Recommendation: The Network Administrators Workstation)

Step #4 Screenshot

Once ESP2 Management Console is installed the ADMIN SETTINGS console is launched. Here you will enter various information to get ESP2 running:

#DOWNLOAD UPDATES TO - Insert or browse to the folder you have chosen in #2 which will host the downloaded client files and updates. (Recommendation: Server folder which your Users have READ access)

#CLIENT DOWNLOAD LOCATION - Insert the folder you have chosen in #DOWNLOAD UPDATES (Strongly recommend UNC path!) (NOTE#1: This is the SAME folder as #DOWNLOAD UPDATES TO!) (NOTE#2: If you have set #DOWNLOAD UPDATES TO to a non local location we recommend you amend the account the ESPL ENTERPRISE UPDATE SERVICE is using via Services.msc to a Domain Admin Account!)

#LICENCE KEY - Insert Key (Recommendation: Cut and Paste from licence email to avoid 'typo')

#LAST UPDATE - Leave as default

#UPDATE INTERVAL - Set time interval for update check (Default=60)
#DOWNLOAD CORE FILES - Default=Yes (See Step#1 if you wish to download manually)

#WRITE INFORMATIONAL MESSAGES - Up to user preferences (Default=No)

'DO NOT USE AUTHENTIUM 'PUSH' Technology… - Check this box if you have or intend to deploy via command line or batch file!

#USER ACCOUNT - Insert known usable Domain Administation account that has local administrative access to your workstations (FORMAT: DOMAIN\USERNAME)

#ACCOUNT PASSWORD - Insert. Ensure correctly typed.

#INSTALLER FILE - Leave as default (NOTE#3: 'CREATE FILE' - This is used to create a Batch file) - Screenshot

#INSTALLATION PARAMETERS - Ensure command line unc path correlates with the path in #CLIENT DOWNLOAD LOCATION setting to avoid install failure. (NOTE#4: 'CREATE DISK' - This is used to create fileset for CD client install)

#HOME PAGE FOR CONSOLE - Leave as default unless specific branding required.

#ICON - Leave as default unless specific branding required.

#COMPANY NAME - Insert your own Company or leave blank.

Step #5

Click SAVE to save the settings once happy and ensured correct.

Step #6

Recommend leaving the console to attach to the Authentium AMS Servers, verify key and allow time for the client download files to download fully. (Recommendation: Allow >10mins)

Step #7

Check Client files have populated in the '#DOWNLOAD UPDATES TO' location from #4.

Step #8

Now open the ESP2 Management Console, a ADD NEW GROUP wizard will start. (You can add additional groups by clicking MANAGEMENT/GROUPS/CREATE to add a Group. Give name and OK.)

Step #9

Highlight Group and click MANAGEMENT/COMPUTERS/ADD to add computer(s) to this new group.

Step #10

Highlight Group and click MANAGEMENT/ESP MODULES/ADD to add modules(s) to this new group. (Note: If no modules shown this means the key you have entered does not include ESP module(s). Please Procure ESP Modules via PROCURE MODULES (top right of the default Home Page)

Step #11

Amend ESP Module Settings and Tasks as required.

Step #12

Deploy by clicking ACTION/PUSH INSTALL to Group(s).
