We recommend that you manually assign one update agent for 100-200 devices. 

For more details about calculating the number and configuration of update agents, see the Online Help page.

To assign update agents manually:

1. Open Kaspersky Security Center 10.
2. From the shortcut menu of the Administration Server, select Properties.

3. Go to the Update agents section and select Manually assign update agents. Click Add.

4. Add the update agent.
   1. Select a device that will act as an update agent.
   2. Select a set of devices that the updates will be deployed to.
5. Click OK.

6. Select the added device and click Properties. 

7. Adjust the update agent settings:
   1. Go to the General section. Specify the SSL port number, the address and number of the IP multicast, and the data that the update agent will deploy: updates or installation packages.
   2. Go to the Scope section. Specify the administration group and/or the network location to which the agent will deploy updates.
   3. Go to the Network poll section. Configure the polling settings for Windows domains, Active Directory, and IP ranges.
   4. Go to the Advanced section. Specify the folder that will be used to store deployed data.
8. Click OK → OK.

The added device will now act as an update agent.
