Can I install the DeviceLock® Service on the remote computer without having to physically go to it?
Yes. DeviceLock® supports Remote Install. If the DeviceLock® Service isn't installed on the remote system or the DeviceLock® version is too old, DeviceLock® Management Console will suggest that you install the service. Select the DeviceLock® Service executable file and DeviceLock® Management Console will copy it to the remote computer. The DeviceLock® Service executable file will be copied to the Windows system directory (e.g. c:\winnt\system32) if this service doesn't exist on this system. If the service exists on this system but is too old, DeviceLock® Management Console will copy the executable file to the directory of the old file and the old file will be replaced.
