Understanding Kaspersky Administration Kit 21
installed on a client connects to the Server for the first time after the installation.
By default, the host name coincides with the name of this computer on the
Windows network (NetBIOS name). If a host with this name already exists, the
Server will assign to this host a name ending in a numeral, for example, Name-1,
Name-2, etc. This host name will be used to identify the computer on the logical
network.
The Administration Server refers to the client computers by their IP addresses. If
a client has an installation of the Network Agent, the IP address of this client is
automatically transferred to the Server upon each connection of the client. If the
Network Agent is not installed, or this client has not connected to the
Administration Server yet (for example, if the Network Agent was locally
installed), the Administration Server determines the IP address of this computer
by its NetBIOS or DNS name.
