Remote Installation
Here are some methods for installing Diskeeper on multiple computers in a network.
Diskeeper Deployment with Diskeeper Administrator
The preferred method for installing Diskeeper on computers across your network is the PushInstall feature,
available in Diskeeper Administrator Edition. Using the Push Install feature, Diskeeper Administrator Edition
can install Diskeeper Professional Edition or Diskeeper Server Standard Edition simultaneously to multiple
computers on a network from a single machine acting as an administrative console. Diskeeper PushInstall can
save you a tremendous amount of time and effort, especially on large networks, where the same software needs
to be installed on hundreds, or even thousands of computers.
To make use of the PushInstall feature, you must install Diskeeper Administrator Edition on a computer that
will act as the administrative console for all your Diskeeper installations network-wide. You must also be
logged into a domain administrator account. The receiving computers must be running a Windows version
supported by Diskeeper Professional Edition or Diskeeper Server Standard Edition.
Refer to the Diskeeper Administrator Edition User’s Manual or Help system for detailed instructions on using
the PushInstall feature.

computers running Diskeeper must be configured to allow Diskeeper Administrator to communicate via these
ports:
• Diskeeper Administrator PushInstall port: 31029 — Diskeeper Administrator uses this port to deploy
Diskeeper to remote computers.
