A company owns several offices in different buildings that are located
far from each other. All computers of this company are connected to a
computer network. The task of an administrator is to protect the com-
pany network from viruses. The administrator installs the Kaspersky
®
Administration Kit and Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
packages on the network
computers and creates and configures the logical network. After this,
the administrator is able to monitor the network for virus-like activities
from his administrating station.
2.4. Logical network administrators.
Access rights
The logical network administrator is a user who installed the Kaspersky
®
Administration Kit software package on the network computers. The
administrator has full control over all servers and workstations of the logical
network.
The group administrator is a user who is authorized to access the settings on
servers and workstations included in a certain group. Below, the logical network
administrator and group administrators are referred to as administrators. When
starting Kaspersky
®
Network Control Centre the first time the administrator
defines the address of the primary server and specifies his or her user name and
password to access the program settings. Kaspersky
®

allows the administrator to:
• build the logical network by adding groups, servers, and workstations
(see Chapter 6 on p. 45);
• manage the Kaspersky Anti-Virus
®
