Creating a remote installation task

To create a remote installation task:

1. In the main window of Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Click the Add button.

   The Task Wizard starts. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.

Step 1. Configuring general task settings

At this step, configure the general settings of the task:

1. In the Application drop-down list, select Kaspersky Security Center.
2. In the Task type drop-down list, select Install application remotely.
3. In the Task name field, enter a brief description, for example, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for QA department.
4. In the Select devices to which the task will be assigned section, select the task scope.

Step 2. Selecting computers for installation

At this step, select the computers on which Kaspersky Endpoint Security will be installed according to the selected task scope option.

Step 3. Configuring an installation package

At this step, configure the settings of the installation package:

1. Select Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10.1.4 for Linux ARM64 Edition installation package.
2. Select the Network Agent installation package.

   The selected version of Network Agent will be installed together with Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Network Agent facilitates interaction between the Administration Server and a client computer. If Network Agent is already installed on the computer, it is not installed again.

3. In the Force installation package download section, select the application installation method:
   • Using Network Agent. If Network Agent has not been installed on the computer, first Network Agent will be installed using the tools of the operating system. Then Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed by the tools of Network Agent.
   • Using operating system resources through distribution points. The installation package is delivered to client computers using operating system resources via distribution points. You can select this option if there is at least one distribution point in the network. For more details about distribution points, refer to Kaspersky Security Center documentation.
   • Using operating system resources through Administration Server. Files will be delivered to client computers by using operating system resources through the Administration Server. You can select this option if Network Agent is not installed on the client computer, but the client computer is in the same network as the Administration Server.
4. In the Maximum number of concurrent downloads field, set a limit on the number of installation package download requests sent to the Administration Server. A limit on the number of requests will help prevent the network from being overload.
5. In the Number of installation attempts field, set a limit on the number of attempts to install the application. If installation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security ends with an error, the task will automatically start the installation again.
6. If necessary, clear the Do not re-install application if it is already installed check box. It allows, for example, to install one of the previous versions of the application.
7. If necessary, select the Assign package installation in Active Directory group policies check box. Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed by means of Network Agent or manually by means of Active Directory. To install Network Agent, the remote installation task must be run with domain administrator privileges.
8. If necessary, select the Prompt users to close running applications check box. Installation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security takes up computer resources. For the convenience of the user, the Application Installation Wizard prompts you to close running applications before starting the installation. This helps prevent disruptions in the operation of other applications and prevents possible malfunctions of the computer.
9. In the Behavior for devices managed through other Administration Servers section, select the Kaspersky Endpoint Security installation method. If the network has more than one Administration Server installed, these Administration Servers may see the same client computers. This may cause, for example, an application to be installed remotely on the same client computer several times through different Administration Servers, or other conflicts.

Step 4. Selecting an account for accessing computers

At this step, select the account used for installing Network Agent using the tools of the operating system. In this case, administrator rights are required for computer access. You can add multiple accounts. If an account does not have sufficient rights, the Installation Wizard uses the next account. If you install Kaspersky Endpoint Security using Network Agent tools, you do not have to select an account.

Step 5. Completing task creation

Finish the wizard by clicking the Create button. A new task will be displayed in the list of tasks. To run a task, select the check box opposite the task and click the Start button. The application will be installed in silent mode.
