ADMINISTRATION KIT
1.1. About Kaspersky Administration
Kit
Kaspersky® Administration Kit is designed for centralized performance of key
administrative tasks. It gives you complete control over your enterprise antivirus
policy, built on the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Business Optimal and Kaspersky Anti-
Virus Corporate Suite applications. 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 administrators to:
• Deploy and remotely remove Kaspersky Lab applications
on and from the
network computers. You can create a custom set of Kaspersky Lab
applications on a dedicated computer and then install these multiple
applications at once on networked computers on any number of
networked computers.
• Efficiently manage license keys
. With Kaspersky Administration Kit, you
can centrally install license keys for all Kaspersky Lab applications,
monitor the correspondence between the numbers of licenses and
Kaspersky Lab applications installed across your network, and track
license expiration dates.
• Remotely manage
Kaspersky Lab applications from a single location.
With Kaspersky Administration Kit, you can build a multitiered anti-virus
protection system managed from one single administrator’s workstation.
This is particularly important for enterprises with a multiplayer local
spread over remote offices. This feature enables the administrators to:
Create administration groups of computers with similar functions and applica-
tions;
Configure application settings simultaneously by applying group policies;
Tailor installations to fit the requirements for individual computers by using appli-
cation settings;
Manage multiple applications by assigning group and global tasks;
Schedule tasks for applications installed on computers from different administra-
tion groups.
• Automatically update the anti-virus database
. You can centrally update
the anti-virus database for all applications without having each computer
