After you create the Network Agent stand-alone installation package, you can proceed to creation of a remote installation task. Performing this task enables you to re-install Network Agent on all managed devices so that these devices are switched under management through Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console.
To reduce the risk of data loss, we recommend that you first perform the actions for a small administration group counting up to 20 managed devices located within the corporate network and including no physical servers. After finishing with these actions, check whether re-installation completed successfully and proceed to the full reinstallation scope.
To create a remote installation task and re-install Network Agent:
We recommend using the Migration wizard to create a remote installation task to re-install Network Agent as described below. If it is necessary to use a custom remote installation task, you first need to manually create a custom installation package from the Network Agent stand-alone installation package. Please note that when creating a custom installation package, you must specify the "-s" key in the executable file command line. Otherwise, Network Agent reinstallation from this custom installation package completes with an error.
Depending on the current state of the Migration wizard, you can do one of the following:
The Migration wizard checks again the total number of managed devices included in the selected administration group. If this number exceeds 10,000, an error message appears. The Next button remains unavailable (dimmed) until the number of managed devices in the selected administration group falls within the limit.
The task must only be started after the import to Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console finishes. Otherwise, the device names may be duplicated in the list.
If you have left the Run newly created remote installation task check box cleared, you can start the task later manually, if necessary.
You can check that you can now manage the migrated Network Agent instances through Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console. To do this, go to Assets (Devices) → Managed devices. Make sure that migrated managed devices have the confirmation icon () in the Visible, Network Agent is installed, and Network Agent is running columns. Also, make sure that these devices do not have the Not connected for a long time status description.
