Configuring the Light Agent for Windows installation package

To edit Light Agent for Windows installation package settings:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the console tree, select Advanced → Remote installation → Installation packages.
  3. In the list of installation packages, select the Light Agent for Windows installation package and open the Settings: <installation package name> window by double-clicking it.
  4. In the window that opens, in the list on the left, select the Settings section and configure the installation package settings. You can perform the following actions:
    • Specify the components that must be installed on the protected virtual machine:
      • If the check box next to the name of a component is selected, the component will be installed on the virtual machine when installing Light Agent for Windows using this installation package. If the component is already installed, no changes are made.
      • If the check box next to the name of a component is not selected, the component will be removed when installing Light Agent for Windows using this installation package. If the component was not installed, no changes are made.
    • Enable or disable Light Agent integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent (the Integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent check box). Integration is disabled by default.
    • Enable or disable protection of the Kaspersky Security installation process so that no process can change the contents of the application installation folder, embed itself in the installation process, or stop the process during application installation. Protection is enabled by default.
    • Enable or disable the addition of the application installation folder path to the system environment variable %PATH%. By default, the path to the installation folder is added to the variable. As a result, you do not have to enter the path to an executable file in the application installation folder to start the file from the command line. It is enough to enter the name of the executable file.
    • Enable or disable adding applications recommended by Microsoft Company for exclusion from scanning to the trusted zone. By default, applications that Microsoft recommends to exclude from scans are added to the trusted zone.
    • Select the Installation on the template for temporary VDI pools check box. It is recommended to select this check box if the installation package is intended for installing Light Agent to a temporary virtual machine template that will be used to create a VDI infrastructure of one of the following types:
      • Citrix XenDesktop random catalog.
      • Citrix XenDesktop static catalog without saving changes made by the user.
      • Automated pool of VMware Horizon of the Instant Clone type.
      • Group of virtual machines of the Linked Clone type for HUAWEI FusionAccess.

      If the check box is selected, updates that require restarting the protected virtual machine will not be installed on virtual machines created from this template. On receiving updates that require restarting the protected virtual machine, Light Agent sends a message to Kaspersky Security Center informing it that the databases and application modules need to be updated on the protected virtual machine template.

      It is not recommended to select the Installation on the template for temporary VDI pools check box if the installation package will be used for installing Light Agent to a temporary virtual machine template that will be used to create a VDI infrastructure of one of the following types:

      • Citrix XenDesktop static dedicated catalog with the use of local drives.
      • Automated pool of VMware Horizon of the Full Clone type.
      • Group of virtual machines of the Full Copy type for HUAWEI FusionAccess.
    • Select the Ensure compatibility with Citrix Provisioning (Citrix Provisioning Services) check box. It is recommended to select this check box if the installation package is intended for installing Light Agent to a virtual machine on which Citrix Provisioning (Citrix Provisioning Services) technology is used.
    • Enter the path to the destination folder in which you want to install Light Agent. By default, Light Agent is installed to the following folder depending on the operating system:
      • %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent\ – for 64-bit operating systems.
      • %ProgramFiles%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent\ – for 32-bit operating systems.

    Except for the Settings section, all sections in the Settings: <installation package name> window are identical to the standard sections used in Kaspersky Security Center. For descriptions of the standard sections, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.

  5. Click OK in the Settings: <installation package name> window.
