Setting up Unattended Access on Multiple Computers (Access Wizard)
This article gives guidance to Rescue Administrators.
By using the Access Wizard, Rescue customers can conveniently mass-deploy the Unattended Access service to multiple devices. Once the installer is deployed, Rescue Administrators can manage the machines associated with each MSI they created.

Creating the Installer
Master Account Holders and Master Administrators can create MSI installers with the Access Wizard.
Note: The installer is only compatible with a direct connection to secure.logmeinrescue.com; it is unable to connect to a proxy using a PAC file.
Deploying the Installer
The MSI file can be shared and deployed in a number of ways thus offering
Rescue users flexibility in how their Unattended Access devices are initially set up. Below you can find some examples for sharing and deploying the installer file:
- Sending the MSI via email to a vendor in a remote location
- A field service agent storing the MSI on a pendrive to install on machines in the field
- Placing a download link to the MSI on a portal page for self-service customer installs
- Deploying the MSI via group policy to machines on an internal network
Note: This option assumes you are familiar with and use built-in Windows software distribution methods such as Microsoft Group Policy Management.
