Installing Kaspersky Security for Windows Server via Kaspersky Security Center

Detailed information about generating an installation package and creating a remote installation task is provided in the Kaspersky Security Center Implementation Guide.

If you intend to manage Kaspersky Security for Windows Server via Kaspersky Security Center in the future, make sure that the following conditions are met:

• The protected device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server is installed also has the Administration Plug-in installed (\server\klcfginst.exe file in the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server distribution kit).
• Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent is installed on protected devices. If Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent is not installed on protected devices, you can install it together with Kaspersky Security for Windows Server using a remote installation task.

Devices can also be combined into an administration group in order to later manage the protection settings using Kaspersky Security Center policies and group tasks.

To install Kaspersky Security for Windows Server using a remote installation task:

1. Start the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
2. In Kaspersky Security Center, expand the Advanced node.
3. Expand the Remote installation child node.
4. In the results pane of the Installation packages child node, click the Create installation package button.
5. Select the Create installation package for a Kaspersky application installation package type.
6. Enter the installation package name.
7. Specify the ks4ws.kud file from the Kaspersky Security for Windows Server distribution kit as the installation package file.

   The End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy window opens.

If you agree to the terms and conditions of End User License Agreement and Privacy Policy, select the I confirm that I have fully read, understood, and accept the terms and conditions of this End User License Agreement and I am aware and agree that my data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy. I confirm that I have fully read and understand the Privacy Policy check boxes in order to proceed with the installation.

   You must accept the License Agreement and the Privacy Policy to proceed.

9. To change the set of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server components to be installed and the default installation settings in the installation package:
   1. In Kaspersky Security Center, expand the Remote installation node.
   2. In the results pane of the Installation packages child node, open the context menu of the created Kaspersky Security for Windows Server installation package and select Properties.
   3. In the Properties: <name of installation package> window open the Settings section.

      2. Read the terms of the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent Statement.
      3. Select the Accept the terms of the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent Statement check box.
      4. Click OK.
      5. Select the Install Endpoint Agent check box.

         The Install Endpoint Agent check box is not available if the Accept the terms of the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent Statement check box was not selected.

   6. In order to indicate a destination folder other than the default one, specify the folder name and path in the Destination folder field.

      The path to the destination folder may contain system environment variables. If the folder does not exist on the protected device, it will be created.

   7. In the Advanced installation settings group, configure the following settings:
      • Scan protected device for viruses before installation
      • Enable real-time protection after installation of application
      • Add Microsoft recommended files to exclusions list

   9. In the Properties: <name of installation package> dialog window, click OK.
10. In the Installation packages node create a task to remotely install Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on the selected protected devices (administration group). Configure the task settings.

    To learn more about creating and configuring remote installation tasks, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
