Interaction between the Administration Server and devices is provided by the Network Agent, which is a component of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Network Agent must be installed on all devices on which Kaspersky Security Center is used to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security.
Network Agent is installed to a device as a service with the following set of attributes:
- Uses the "Kaspersky Security Center <version of Kaspersky Security Center> Network Agent" name (for example, "Kaspersky Security Center 12 Network Agent").
- Set to automatically start when the operating system starts.
- Uses the LocalSystem account.
The device on which the Network Agent is installed is called a managed device.
You can install the Network Agent for managing the Kaspersky Endpoint Security application on Windows devices.
You do not need to install the Network Agent on devices that have Administration Server installed because the server version of the Network Agent is automatically installed with the Administration Server.
The name of the process that starts the Network Agent is klnagent.exe.
Network Agent synchronizes managed devices with the Administration Server. The recommended value for synchronization period (periodic signal) is 15 minutes per 10,000 managed devices.
