Requirements for a distribution point
Hardware and software requirements for Windows and Linux-based distribution points are described in this article.
If any remote installation tasks are pending on the Administration Server, the device with the distribution point will also require an amount of free disk space that is equal to the total size of the installation packages to be installed.
If one or multiple instances of the task for update (patch) installation and vulnerability fix are pending on the Administration Server, the device with the distribution point will also require additional free disk space, equal to twice the total size of all patches to be installed.
If you use the scheme where distribution points receive database updates and application software modules directly from Kaspersky update servers, the distribution points must be connected to the internet.
