Procedure for installing and configuring program components

Installing and configuring the program involves the following steps:

1. Installing the disk image containing the Sandbox component
2. Configuring the Sandbox component through the Sandbox web interface
3. Installing the disk images of Microsoft Windows operating systems and software for the Sandbox component
4. Installing the disk image containing the Central Node and Sensor components
5. Configuring the Central Node and Sensor components

   If there are multiple Central Node components, you can use the program in distributed solution mode.

   If there are multiple Sensor components, you can install and configure the Sensor component on the necessary number of servers.

   If you need to use the Central Node component separately from the Sensor component, skip the steps on configuring the Sensor component when installing the Central Node and Sensor components.

6. Installing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows or Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux on computers in the corporate IT infrastructure

   You can use Kaspersky Endpoint Agent in the following configurations:

   • Without integration with the EPP program.

     In this case, you only need to install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows or Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux.

   • With integration with the EPP program.

     In this case, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent also sends information about threats detected by the EPP program and results of threat processing by this program to the Central Node server.

   Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows can integrate with the following EPP programs:

   • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.

     Integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows

     To integrate these programs, you must install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Integrating separately installed programs is not supported.

     To install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security:

     1. Start the installation of the Kaspersky Endpoint Security program, which includes Kaspersky Endpoint Agent in its distribution kit.

        For more details about installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security, see Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows Help.

     2. During installation, select the Endpoint Agent component.

     After the program with the Endpoint Agent component is installed, the list of installed programs includes Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

     If necessary, you can upgrade the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent that is already installed as part of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Integration between compatible versions of the programs is maintained both when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is upgraded and when Kaspersky Endpoint Security is upgraded. You can upgrade a previous version of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to version 3.12 only for Kaspersky Endpoint Agent version 3.7 or newer.

   • Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.

     Integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server

     To integrate these programs, you must install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. Integrating separately installed programs is not supported.

     To install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server:

     1. Start the installation of the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server program, which includes Kaspersky Endpoint Agent in its distribution kit.

        For more details about installing Kaspersky Security for Windows Server, see Kaspersky Security for Windows Server Help.

     2. During installation, select the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent component.

     After the program with the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent component is installed, the list of installed programs includes Kaspersky Security for Windows and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

     If necessary, you can upgrade the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent that is already installed as part of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server. Integration between compatible versions of the programs is maintained both when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is upgraded and when Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is upgraded.

   • Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent.

     Integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows with Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent

     Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent are installed separately. Kaspersky Endpoint Agent cannot be installed as part of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent.

     To enable the integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent:

     1. Install Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent if it has not been installed yet.
     2. Enable the integration of Light Agent with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

        Component of the Kaspersky Security program. Installed on each virtual machine that requires protection.

        You can enable the integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent during installation or upgrade of Light Agent. You can also enable the integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent using the procedure for modifying the set of installed components of Light Agent.

        For more details about installing, enabling integration, and upgrading the program, as well as about the procedure for modifying the set of installed components, see Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Help.

     3. Install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent on the virtual machine with Light Agent, if it has not been installed yet.

     For integration with Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent 5.2, we recommend using Kaspersky Endpoint Agent 3.12. If necessary, you can upgrade the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent program and Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent. When you upgrade the programs, integration between compatible versions is maintained.

   Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux can integrate with the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux EPP program.

   Integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux

   To integrate Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux with Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, you can use separately installed programs.

   To enable the integration of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent with Kaspersky Endpoint Security:

   1. Install Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

      For more details about installing the program, see Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

   2. Do the following:
      1. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent has not been installed yet, install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

         The integration between programs is enabled automatically.

      2. If Kaspersky Endpoint Agent has already been installed, enable the integration between programs.

         To do so, you must enable the recording of event information in syslog for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux.

         For more details about configuring the program, see Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

   If necessary, you can upgrade Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux. When you upgrade the programs, integration between compatible versions is maintained.
