Restart of stations after remote installation
FAQ » Technical FAQ » AVG 8.5 » Remote Administration » Network Installer Wizard » Restart of stations after remote installation
When installing AVG remotely using the AVG Network Installer WIzard, please bear in mind that a restart is always required and executed automatically in case there is AVG 7.x on the target stations. Sometimes the restart is needed also when reinstalling AVG 8.5. The restart is needed because all old AVG services and drivers are scheduled for removal upon restart, and new drivers and services cannot be started due to this. The result of reinstallation without restart would be an unprotected station.
In general, it is recommended to install AVG remotely during off-peak hours, and enable the option "Reboot the computer after finishing AVG 8.5 setup if needed". This will ensure that the computer will be unprotected for the shortest possible time.
More information about replacing AVG 7.5 clients and server by AVG 8.5 in a network is available in the FAQ topic 1183.
