CENTRALIZED CLIENT CREATION
Custom Clients
Administrators can build custom RealPlayer Enterprise installation packages that include only the components they specify, for example, to create a small installer to minimize distribution time for remote users, a full installer with all components for LAN users, or any combination in between.
Installation Ease
Administrators can define the Player installation behavior. Select which icons are to be installed and specify whether the Player is to be installed invisibly in the background, or as a standard or express install where the user can see progress and make installation decisions. Since RealPlayer Enterprise can be preconfigured, administrators can ensure users are up and running right away. Any Preference setting can be pre-defined - and locked, if needed - such as maximum-allowable bandwidth, proxy and firewall configuration settings and even home page and help URLs.
Simple, Central Management
An easy-to-use Web-based administration system makes it intuitive to manage large-scale RealPlayer Enterprise deployments. Groups of settings which define Player characteristics can be saved as templates - one for each department, for example - which the administrator can quickly recall and reuse, saving time and ensuring consistency.
CENTRALIZED CLIENT UPDATING
Automated Component Updating
With RealPlayer Enterprise Manager, administrators controls which component updates are approved to be delivered to RealPlayer Enterprise clients in their organizations. In addition, RealPlayer Enterprise Manager will periodically check with RealNetworks for component updates, preventing individual RealPlayer clients from calling outside the firewall for updates.
Advanced Ongoing Player Management
RealPlayer Enterprise Manager can automatically restore Player settings - both their values and their lock/unlock state - if they differ from the defined sets remembered by RealPlayer Enterprise Manager. This lets administrators change settings once Players are already deployed without the need to redistribute or reinstall anything. Each time a RealPlayer Enterprise client is launched, it checks with RealPlayer Enterprise Manager for settings changes and component updates.
