CHAPTER 4. INSTALLATION AND
REMOVAL OF SOFTWARE
ON THE COMPUTERS
Before you start the installation, you must make sure that the software and
hardware of the computers meet the corresponding requirements (see section
1.3 on page 9)
Kaspersky Administration Kit allows installation and removal of Kaspersky Lab's
applications using the following methods:
• remotely in a centralized way, via the Administration Console;
• locally, individually on each computer.
Connection of the Administration Server with the client computers is ensured by
the Network Agent component. Therefore this component must be installed on
each computer that will be connected to the remote centralized administration
system before the installation of the anti-virus applications. If you use the
centralized method to install the applications via the Administration Console, the
Network Agent can be installed together with one of the applications.
On the computer on which the Administration Server is installed, only server
version of the Network Agent can be used. It is included into the Administration
Server structure and is installed and removed together with the Administration
Server (see section 3.2 on page 17).
You do not have to install the Network Agent on this computer.
The Network Agent is installed the same way as the applications - that is either
remotely or locally.
The Network Agents can differ depending on the Kaspersky Lab's applications
for which they are installed. In some cases only local installation of the Network
Agent is possible (details see Guides to the corresponding applications). The
Network Agent is installed on the client computer only once.
Kaspersky Administration Kit application administration interface is implemented
by the corresponding administration plugins. Therefore, in order to access the
application administration interface, the corresponding plugin must be installed
on the administrator's workstation. In case of the remote installation method, it is
installed automatically when the first installation package for the corresponding
application is created. In case of a local installed on the client computer, the
administration plugin must be installed manually by the administrator.
