Installation and uninstallation
Installation and uninstallation
- During application installation a warning appears if the new path to the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installation folder contains more than 150 symbols. The warning does not affect the installation process: Kaspersky Security for Windows Server will install and run successfully.
- For installation of the SNMP protocol support component the SNMP service must be restarted, if it is running.
- For installation and operation of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on a device running an embedded operating system, the Filter Manager component must be installed.
- Kaspersky Security for Windows Server Administration Tools cannot be installed via Microsoft Active Directory group policies.
- When installing the application on protected devices running older operating systems that cannot receive regular updates, the following root certificates should be checked: DigiCert Assured ID Root CA, DigiCert_High_Assurance_EV_Root_CA, DigiCertAssuredIDRootCA. If these certificates are missing, the application may not function correctly. We recommend that you install these certificates in any possible way.
