Step 4. Specifying the remote installation task settings
Expand all | Collapse all
On the "Remote installation" task settings page, specify the settings for remote installation of the application.
In the Force installation package download settings group, specify how files that are required for the application installation are distributed to client devices:
- Using Network Agent
If this option is enabled, installation packages are delivered to client devices by Network Agent installed on those client devices.
If this option is disabled, installation packages are delivered using the operating system tools of client devices.
We recommend that you enable this option if the task has been assigned to devices with Network Agents installed.
By default, this option is enabled.
- Using operating system resources through distribution points
If this option is enabled, installation packages are transmitted to client devices using operating system tools through distribution points. You can select this option if there is at least one distribution point on the network.
If the Using Network Agent option is enabled, the files are delivered using operating system tools only if Network Agent tools are unavailable.
By default, this option is enabled for remote installation tasks that have been created on a virtual Administration Server.
Define the additional setting:
Do not re-install application if it is already installed
If this option is enabled, the selected application will not be re-installed if it has already been installed on this client device.
If this option is disabled, the application will be installed anyway.
By default, this option is enabled.
Password to uninstall the current Kaspersky application
The Password to uninstall the current Kaspersky application field is only available if you have selected the Using Network Agent option in the Force installation package download settings group.
Enter the password in the Password to uninstall the current Kaspersky application field if you migrate from one Kaspersky application to another and your current application is password-protected. Note that during the migration, your current Kaspersky application will be uninstalled.
To complete the migration scenario successfully, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
- You are using the Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent 14.2 for Windows or later.
- You are installing the application on the devices running Windows.
