CHAPTER 3. INSTALLING
KASPERSKY
ADMINISTRATION KIT
Before starting the installation, make sure that the computer meets the software
and hardware requirements to the Administration Server and the Administrator's
workstation (see section 1.3 on page 9).
MSDE (Microsoft Data Engine), MySQL server or Microsoft SQL server is used
to store the Administration Server information. If no MSDE or SQL server is
installed, you have to install one of them before installing the Administration
Server. In order to do it, you can use the distribution packages you have. In order
to install MSDE you can also use Kaspersky Administration Kit distribution
package. The MSDE installation procedure from the Kaspersky Administration Kit
is discussed in detailed below (see section 3.1 on page 15).
For installation of Kaspersky Administration Kit the local administrator's rights are
required for the computer on which the installation is performed.
The setup wizard will offer you to install the application components of Kaspersky
Administration Kit (the Administration Server and Administration Console) on the
computer on which the setup wizard is run. Such configuration is recommended
at the initial stage of creating the centralized administration system.
All the required ports should be open on a host computer for installed application
components to work properly. A listing of default ports used by Kaspersky
Administration Kit is given in Table 1.
