(Optional) Setup CareDrive backup

If the customer has also signed up for a BizCare Backup plan, set that up now. Follow instructions in Procedure - Setup CareDrive.

Schedule onsite or remote for initial setup

Prior to commencing the onsite or remote appointment, download and have ready the following:

  • The signed BizCare contract, for reference
  • An installer for this customer (get from https://manage.mybiz.care). Use the MSI installer for Windows. Have a Mac installer ready as well if BizCare will be installed on a Mac.
  • An installer for CareDrive, if this customer has a BizCare Backup plan.

Initial Setup

Start by having the customer point out each of the computers that will be added to the BizCare plan. For remote setups or onsite setups with remote assistance, connect each of these computers to a temporary ScreenConnect session (Procedure - RemoteCare/ScreenConnect Setup). For onsite setups, take note of the computer names (or what the customer calls them such as “Front Computer” or “Office Mac”).

Create assets in PCRT

  1. Navigate to the group in PCRT for this customer.
  2. Scroll to the bottom, of the Assets/Devices tab and use the “Mass Add Assets/Devices” section.
  3. Create a new asset for each computer being configured. Set the name to the name of the computer you gathered earlier (for onsite setups) or to the name of the actual computer (for remote setups). The make/model can be generic (“Dell Laptop”) if full model information isn’t readily available.
  4. Click “Add Assets/Devices”
  5. Done

Install clients

Install the BizCare client on each computer. The installation will happen in several steps:

  1. Copy the installer to the computer and run it
  2. Installer will run and complete (est. 1-2 minutes)
  3. The Labtech tray will appear in the System Menu with a green Labtech icon (a green silhouette of a head and shoulders) while it configures. (est 5-10 minutes)
  4. The Labtech tray icon will be replaced with our tray icon -- the UPCC logo in a black gear.
  5. If Webroot auto deployment was configured during Labtech setup, Webroot will be automatically installed.
