Remotely changing the settings of the Endpoint Sensors component

You can remotely change the settings of the Endpoint Sensors component by reinstalling it on corporate LAN computers.

To remotely change the settings of the Endpoint Sensors component on corporate LAN computers:

1. Open the KSC Console.
2. Select the relevant Administration Server.
3. In the KSC console tree, in the section with additional settings, select the subsection with installation packages.
4. Start the creation of the installation package.

   The window of the New Installation Package Wizard opens.

5. If you are using Kaspersky Security Center 11 or Kaspersky Security Center 10 SP3:
   1. In the window of the New Installation Package Wizard, select the installation package of the Kaspersky Lab application.
   2. Specify the path to the file in KUD format and the name of the new installation package.
   3. Please review the End User License Agreement for this component.

      Carefully read the End User License Agreement. If you agree with all of its terms, accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

      Creation of the installation package will then continue. While the installation package is being created, the plug-in for managing the Endpoint Sensors component will be installed in Kaspersky Security Center if you have not already installed it.

   4. Specify the address and port of the server with the Central Node component, as well as the Self-Defense status.

      If you use the Sensor component as a proxy server, enter the IP address or FQDN of the server hosting the Sensor component instead of the Central Node IP address or FQDN.

   Default values: Port 443, server address not defined, Self-Defense enabled.

   Self-Defense starts the mechanism for protecting the Endpoint Sensors component against modification or deletion of its files on the drive, memory processes, and system registry entries.

   To subsequently change the Self-Defense status of the Endpoint Sensors component, you will have to reinstall the component.

6. If you are using Kaspersky Security Center 10 SP2 MR1 or Kaspersky Security Center 10 SP2, in the window of the New Installation Package Wizard choose to create an installation package for an external application and specify the following settings in the command line:
   • SELFDEFENSE=On/Off —Status of Self-Defense.

     Self-Defense is enabled by default.

     Self-Defense starts the mechanism for protecting the Endpoint Sensors component against modification or deletion of its files on the drive, memory processes, and system registry entries.

     To subsequently change the Self-Defense status of the Endpoint Sensors component, you will have to reinstall the component.

   • SERVER=<server address>—Address of the server with the Central Node component.

     If you use the Sensor component as a proxy server, enter the IP address or FQDN of the server hosting the Sensor component instead of the Central Node IP address or FQDN.

   By default, the server address is not defined.

   • acceptEULA=1—You accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

     Carefully read the End User License Agreement. If you agree with all of its terms, accept the terms of the End User License Agreement.

   • MESSAGEQUEUEPRINTMESSAGESTOLOG=1—Log events on the server with the Central Node component.

     Optional parameter.

     Continual use of event logging can quickly fill up free disk space. Use event logging only when necessary.

     You can also enter the following event logging parameters:

     • TRACELEVEL=500 if you want to log errors only.
     • TRACELEVEL=800 if you want to use event logging in debug mode.

   For information on configuring additional settings, you can contact Technical Support.

7. In the workspace, select the installation package of the Endpoint Sensors component.
8. In the section for working with the selected object, start the installation of the program.

   The Remote Installation Wizard starts.

9. Select the computers on which you want to install the Endpoint Sensors component.

   You can select an administration group or individual devices.

10. Leave the default settings unchanged.

The Wizard will create and start the remote installation task to install the Endpoint Sensors component with the new values of settings. The created task will be placed in the folder containing tasks or will be added to tasks of the administration group for which it was created.
