  3. Centralized deployment of Kaspersky security applications on client devices

    You must perform the initial configuration of the Administration Server by using the Quick Start Wizard, discover all network devices, create an installation package for each Kaspersky security application that you want to install, and perform remote installation of Network Agent and the Kaspersky security applications on the client devices. You also have to install Network Agent and the Kaspersky security applications locally if the remote installation has failed or is not feasible on some devices (for example, because of an unstable network connection or a low throughput rate of the channel).
