Step 11. Selecting a shared folder

Define the location and name of the shared folder that will be used to do the following:

• Store the files necessary for remote installation of applications (these files are copied to Administration Server during creation of installation packages).
• Store updates that have been downloaded from an update source to Administration Server.

File sharing (read-only) will be enabled for all users.

You can select either of the following options:

• Create a shared folder. Create a new folder. In the text box, specify the path to the folder.
• Select an existing shared folder. Select a shared folder that already exists.

The shared folder can be a local folder on the device that is used for installation or a remote directory on any client device on the corporate network. You can click the Browse button to select the shared folder, or specify the shared folder manually by entering its UNC path (for example, \\server\Share) in the corresponding field.

By default, the installer creates a local Share subfolder in the application folder that contains the components of Kaspersky Security Center.

You can define a shared folder later if needed.
