Networked Workstation Installation

Instead of installing EduSmart Science on each computer in a classroom, you may wish to install it to a network file server. This method makes the installation much quicker and maintenance is easier.

A file server is a computer running a server based operating system (e.g. Windows Server) or it may be a computer in a peer-to-peer network designated as the server and this computer is setup with a file-share.

Installation on a file server

Set up a directory/drive on your file server with access permissions. If this is a peer-to-peer network, then set up a file-share on the computer.

Follow the normal DVD/CD installation process, when asked to select the install location, select the directory/drive in the file server that was set up in the previous step.

Allow the installation to complete in the normal way.

Setting up Workstation and launching EduSmart Science

Each workstation must now be setup to use the file server's copy of the installation.

Map the drive on each workstation to the network file share previously created on the file server.

To run EduSmart content on the workstation run Start.exe program on the mapped network drive.[e.g. f:\Start.exe]

Note: You must run this program through the mapped drive and not by using the UNC file path (\\servername\folder\Start.exe).
