You can install the Anti-Virus on several servers via a new or already existing group policy of Active Directory. servers on which you are going to install the Anti-Virus via a group policy should meet the following requirements: 

• all servers should be in the same domain and in the same organizational unit 
• operating systems installed on these servers should be of the same capacity (32-bit or 64-bit);

You should have the administrator’s rights on the domain controller from which you are planning to install the Anti-Virus.

Before the installation:

1. check the DNS-server settings

Run the ping command from each server and connect with the domain controller and visa versa, run the same command from the domain controller to connect with each server.
