Issue

You may encounter errors when trying to run a remote installation task of Network Agent or a third-party software using operating system resources through Administration Server or using operating system resources through distribution points.

Cause

Error Cause
“Shared folder "\\192.0.2.45\admin$" is unavailable for the following accounts: svc_kavadmin@example.com, EXAMPLE\svc_kavadmin, <Current Administration Server service account> (Access Denied.)” The permissions of the account under which the Administration Server is running are incorrectly configured.
“Distribution point "˂DP_name˃” has failed to start remote installation. Installation package download from the Administration Server to the shared folder on the device returned an error: ˂Kaspersky Security Center 14.2 Network Agent service account˃ (Access denied.) No more distribution points have been found.”
“Shared folder "\\192.0.2.45\admin$" is unavailable for the following accounts: <Current Administration Server service account> (The RPC server is unavailable)”. There are NTLM protocol restrictions, or the trust relationship between the target device, a distribution point, or the Administration Server and the Active Directory domain is disrupted.
“Distribution point "˂DP_name˃” has failed to start remote installation. Installation package download from the Administration Server to the shared folder on the device returned an error: ˂Kaspersky Security Center 14.2 Network Agent service account˃ (The RPC server is unavailable.) No more distribution points have been found.”

Solution

  1. Use the following command to check the account under which the Administration Server service is running:
wmic service where 'name = "kladminserver"' get startname
By default, a remote installation task starts on devices with the privileges of the account under which the Administration Server is running.
  1. Examine the command execution result.

If there is a period instead of a company’s domain name, it means the service works under a local user of the operating system (OS) on which the Administration Server is installed.

Result of the command execution showing a period instead of the company’s domain name.

If an account has been added to the installation task settings, the connection to the target device will be made under this account and the Administration Server account.
