Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
Yes, this should be possible - in fact, I've just tested this scenario out just to make sure. However, there are a few important details to note:
1. When installing Host remotely while connected to the remote machine via Agent, the Agent window will stay opened till one of the last steps of the installation process, then it will automatically get closed, so your current connection will be interrupted.
2. At the installation step when the connection interrupts, a remote machine gets a prompt requesting to set up an access password. Since you won't be connected at this point, we recommend that you prepare a
One-Click installation package and install Host using it instead of vanilla installer.
3. When configuring a One-Click package please make sure to enable the
Send Internet-ID to email feature and
set up the SMTP server along with the following checkboxes:
-
Automatically generate Host password-
When updating existing Hosts, overwrite their Internet-ID code with the generated codeThese features will ensure that you receive an automated email with your Host's access credentials, so that when your connection via Agent is interrupted, but Host is installed and starts running, you can connect to it right away using the credentials.
4. Last but not least, in case if you had any previous Host installations on this remote machine, please make sure to remote the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Usoris\Remote Utilities Host\. This will remove any traces of the previously existing installations' settings, so that the password is generated during the installation process.
5.
Here's a guide on how to add the remote Host to your address book using the encrypted code you receive via email.
Hope that helps.
