If you have never used Kaspersky Security Center and you want to manage your tenants through virtual Administration Servers, proceed as described in this section. After you complete this scenario, your customers' devices will be protected.
If you manage several tenants, then perform the scenario for each of the tenants separately.
The scenario proceeds in stages:
Create a virtual Administration Server for your customer. The new virtual Administration Server appears in the hierarchy of Administration Servers:
Virtual Administration Servers in the hierarchy of Administration Servers
Among the devices of the customer, decide which device will act as a distribution point.
You cannot have more than 100 distribution points within one workspace.
Switch to the created virtual Administration Server, and then create a stand-alone installation package for Network Agent. You can switch Administration Servers in the main menu by clicking the chevron icon () to the right of the current Administration Server name, and then selecting the required Administration Server. During creation of the stand-alone installation package, specify the Managed devices administration group to move the device to.
You can use any method that is suitable for you:
To deliver the stand-alone installation package to the device, you can, for example, copy it to a removable drive (such as a flash drive) or place it in a shared folder.
Assign the device with Network Agent installed to act as a distribution point.
Configure and perform network polling through the distribution point.
Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console provides the following methods of network polling:
After network polling according to schedule is complete, your customers' devices are discovered and placed in the Unassigned devices group.
Set up the rules for automatically moving the discovered devices to the required administration groups; or move these devices to the required administration groups manually. If you plan to manage the customer's devices in a single administration group, you can move the devices to the Managed devices group.
If third-party security applications are installed on your customers' devices, remove them before installing Kaspersky applications.
Create remote installation tasks to install Network Agent and managed Kaspersky applications on your customers' devices.
If necessary, you can create several remote installation tasks to install managed Kaspersky applications for different administration groups or different device selections.
After the tasks are created, you can configure their settings. Make sure that the schedule for each task meets your requirements. First, the task to install Network Agent must be run. After Network Agent is installed on your customers' devices, the task to install managed Kaspersky applications must be run.
Generate and view the Report on Kaspersky application versions. Make sure that the managed Kaspersky applications are installed on all of the devices of your customer.
Create a policy for the required Kaspersky application. If you want to create a universal policy for all your customers, switch the current virtual Administration Server to the primary Administration Server, and then create a policy for the required Kaspersky application.
