You can install Kaspersky Endpoint Security on a client device remotely from the administrator's workstation using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or the Administration Console.
For the remote installation, Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation package is used. Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation package is common for all supported operating systems and processor architecture types. You can create the installation package using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or the Administration Console.
If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments (as part of Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security for Virtualization Light Agent), you need to perform the initial configuration of the application in installation package properties (this method is available only in the Web Console) or in the autoinstall.ini configuration file which is included in the installation package.

For a description of the deployment procedures, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
If necessary, you can view the application remote installation log by using remote diagnostics of the Kaspersky Security Center client device.
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, then activation of the application during installation and automatic license key distribution are not supported. If Kaspersky Endpoint Security receives information about the license from the Protection Server after connecting to the SVM; there is no need to activate Kaspersky Endpoint Security separately.
After installation of the application using Kaspersky Security Center is complete, you must prepare the application for operation.
To use Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed on client devices, you need to put these devices in administration groups. Before starting Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation, you can create Kaspersky Security Center administration groups to which you want to move the devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed, and configure the rules to automatically move the devices to these administration groups. If rules for moving devices to the administration groups are not configured, Kaspersky Security Center moves all the devices that have the Administration Agent installed and are connected to Administration Server to the Unassigned devices list. In this case, you need to manually move computers to the administration groups (refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help for details).
