Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is included in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution kit. You can install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent during installation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. To do so, you must select the Endpoint Agent component during installation of the application (for example, in the installation package). After installing the application with Endpoint Agent, Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent will be added to the list of installed applications. After uninstalling Kaspersky Endpoint Security, Kaspersky Endpoint Agent will also be uninstalled automatically.
Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.7.0 now has a wizard for migration from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to Kaspersky Endpoint Security. You can migrate policy and task settings for the following solutions:
- Kaspersky Sandbox;
- Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR);
- Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
It is recommended to begin with migrating Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to Kaspersky Endpoint Security on a single computer, then do it on a group of computers, and then complete the migration on all computers of the organization.
To migrate policy and task settings from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to Kaspersky Endpoint Security:
In the main window of Web Console, select Operations → Migration from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.
This runs the Policy and Task Migration Wizard. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
Step 1. Policy migration
The Migration Wizard creates a new policy which merges the settings of Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policies. In the policy list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policies whose settings you want to merge with the Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy. Click a Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy to select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security with which you want to merge settings. Make sure you selected the correct policies and go to the next step.
Step 2. Task migration
The Migration Wizard creates new tasks for Kaspersky Endpoint Security. In the task list, select Kaspersky Endpoint Agent tasks which you want to create for Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy. The Wizard supports tasks for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Sandbox. Go to the next step.
Step 3. Wizard completion
Exit the Wizard. As a result, the wizard:
- Creates a new Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy.
The policy merges settings from Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Endpoint Agent. The policy is called <Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy name> & <Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy name>. The new policy has the Inactive status. To continue, change the statuses of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Security policies to Inactive and activate the new merged policy.
After migrating from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, please make sure that the new policy has the functionality for data transfer to the Administration Server (quarantine file data and threat development chain data) set up. Data transfer parameter values are not migrated from a Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy.
- Creates new Kaspersky Endpoint Security tasks.
New tasks are copies of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent tasks for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response and Kaspersky Sandbox. At the same time, the Wizard leaves Kaspersky Endpoint Agent tasks unchanged.
