CHAPTER 1. KASPERSKY®

ADMINISTRATION KIT

Kaspersky

Administration Kit is an application that is designed to provide a

centralized solution for most important administration tasks associated with

managing the corporate network anti-virus security system based on Kaspersky

Lab’s applications included into Kaspersky Anti-Virus Business Optimal and

Kaspersky Corporate Suite . Kaspersky Administration Kit supports all network

configurations that use TCP/IP protocol.

Kaspersky Administration Kit is a tool for corporate network administrators and

anti-virus security officers.

The application enables the administrator to:

• Deploy Kaspersky Lab applications

across a network connection to com-

puters running Windows. This feature enables the administrator to copy

the required set of Kaspersky Lab's applications to a selected computer

and then deploy these applications on the network computers.

• Manage licenses

. This feature allows to install license keys to all installed

Kaspersky Lab's in a centralized way, monitor the observance of the Li-

cense Agreement (that is, the conformity of the number of licenses to the

number of applications operating in the network) and the expiration date.

• Remotely manage Kaspersky Lab applications

across a network connec-

tion to computers running Windows. This feature enables the administra-

tor to create a multi-level anti-virus protection system and manage the

operation of all applications from a single administrator's workstation. This

is particularly important for larger companies that have a local network

consisting of a large number of computers that may cover several sepa-

rate buildings or offices. This feature enables the administrator to:

• group computers into administration groups based on the func-

tions performed by such computers and the set of applications

installed on them;

• configure the application settings in a centralized way by creat-

ing and applying group policies;

• configure individual settings of the application for individual

computers using the application settings.

• manage the operation of the applications in a centralized way

by creating and running group and global tasks.
