LServerAdmin - Add Windows client

Add new Client - Windows

Note

Following instructions concern adding a new client PC. If client PC has 2 OSs installed and has already been added to LServerAdmin with Linux ssh access, we follow instructions in paragraph Add 2nd OS (Windows) to existing Client

After configuring ssh to Windows clients, we are ready to proceed adding them to LServerAdmin.

We do the following:

Note

To check ip and mac address, we login to client and go to Start menu / Control Panel / Network Connections and Internet / Network Connections. We double click on Local Connection and from Support tab we press Details button (image 1f).

  • We are asked to select a hostname and an ip address for the client PC (image 1g). We usually select consecutive ips (e.g. 192.168.10.51 for pc1, 192.168.10.52 for pc2 etc..).
  • Client networking is restarted to get the new ip (e.g. from 192.168.10.110 to 192.168.10.51).
  • Finally client PC is renamed to the hostname, we selected above and OS is restarted.

Adding new client PC is finished! We can now manage the client remotely to do various tasks (see Introduction).

We continue adding all client PCs one by one.

Add 2nd OS (Windows) to existing Client

Note

Following instructions concern adding access to a 2nd OS to an existing client PC, that we have already added Linux access to LServerAdmin. If we want to add a new client PC with Windows OS, we follow instructions in paragraph Add new Client - Windows

Suppose we have dual boot PCs running Windows and Linux, and we have already added the client PC to LServerAdmin from Linux OS. We now want to add a 2nd OS (Windows) to the existing client PC.

We should have already configured ssh on Client PC.

We do the following:

  • We start LServerAdmin application as an administrator. [c16]
  • We go to menu LAN / Edit PCs - Groups / Edit PCs / Add PC - OS / Add PC - Windows OS (image 2a)
  • We select Existing Clients List (image 2a) and then the client we already have added in our administration. (image 2b)

From this point and on, we proceed with a similar way as in Add new Client - Windows.

The only difference is that we don’t have to supply a hostname and an ip, since we have already specified one when we added the client from Linux OS.
