Configuring automatic uninstallation of security applications

You can configure automatic uninstallation of security applications from devices that are marked for deletion.

To configure automatic uninstallation of security applications:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Devices section.

   The Devices section contains a list of devices that have been added to Kaspersky Next.

3. Click the Show marked for deletion button.

   Management Console displays the list of devices that have been marked for deletion.

4. Click the Uninstallation settings link.

   The Uninstallation settings window opens.

5. Under Operating system restart option, select what to do if the uninstallation requires the restart of the device operating system:
   • Do not restart the device

     Managed devices are not restarted automatically after the operation. To complete the operation, users must restart their devices. This option is suitable for servers and other devices where continuous operation is critical.

   • Restart the device

     Managed devices are always restarted automatically if a restart is required for completion of the operation. This option is useful for devices for which regular pauses in their operation (shutdown or restart) are acceptable.

   • Prompt the user for action

     The restart reminder is displayed on the screen of the managed device, prompting the user to restart it manually. You can change the text of the message for the user. This option is most suitable for workstations where users must be able to select the most convenient time for a restart.

     If the Restart the device after 180 minutes option is enabled, after prompting the user, the application forces a restart of the operating system upon expiration of the specified time interval. Otherwise, users must restart their devices manually.

6. If uninstallation of the security applications from devices running Windows is protected by password, specify access settings for the security applications:
   1. Under Access settings, select the check boxes next to the applications protected by password.
   2. If you select Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, specify the user name and password that protect the application.
   3. If you select Network Agent, specify the password that protects the application.

      If Network Agent is protected by the same password as Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, it is enough to specify the settings only for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows. Kaspersky Next will automatically use the specified password for uninstalling Network Agent.

7. Click the OK button to save the changes.

The security applications are automatically uninstalled from the devices, according to the defined settings.
