In Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you can create an installation package in one of the following ways:
If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, you must perform the initial configuration of the application in the properties of the created installation package on the Settings tab. You can also perform the initial configuration of the application using the configuration file that is included in the installation package.
To prepare an archive for creating an installation package:
If you do not want to install a graphical user interface, do not put these files into the folder; this will make the installation package smaller.
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the graphical user interface is not supported.
Note that If you are not planning to use the graphical user interface, you need to set USE_GUI=No
in the properties of the created installation package or in the autoinstall.ini configuration file. Otherwise, the installation will fail.
If you want to use the created installation package to install the application on several types of operating systems or package managers, place the files for all the required types of operating systems and package managers in the folder.
If you plan to use Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, you need to set KSVLA_MODE=yes
in the autoinstall.ini configuration file.
You can also perform the initial configuration of the application in the properties of the created installation package on the Settings tab.
UPDATE_EXECUTE=no
. The autoinstall.ini file is located in the folder where you unpacked the kesl.zip archive.To create an installation package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console:
A list of installation packages available on the Administration Server opens.
The wizard for creating an installation package will start. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console does not allow creation of installation packages from a file.
The installation package will be created and added to the list of installation packages. Using the installation package, you can install the application on devices in the corporate network or update the application version.
You can perform the initial configuration of the application in the properties of the installation package, on the Settings tab (see the table below).
An installation package for Kaspersky Endpoint Security cannot be configured in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console versions lower than 14.2. Use the autoinstall.ini configuration file to configure settings.
