Hi Guys,

I installed the Admin Kit and I am configuring it.

I created a new group, and in the Group Tasks of the group I clicked on the "add task" link from the right pane.

I selected the following options:

The next screen is the following:

I am trying to understand what will happen if I go with these settings... For example, if I choose XP Workstation Client, am I telling my server to deploy "XP Workstation Client" using the administration kit?

I am a bit confused.

Many thanks!
Vic

The three selections in the second picture are your "Remote Installs". You created them when you configured your server. When you create a deployment task it is going to use your Remote Installs to deploy whatever product you configured it for.

I would hope that "XP Workstations Client" == Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations and "2003 Server Client" == Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers. But I didn't configure your sever, so I'm not sure how you have it set up.

Raymond thank you for the reply.

Here's a question, in the first screen "Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers" is available.

Would that be equivalent to 2003 Server Client in the second screen?

(I included the propreties of 2003 Server Client for your reference)

Did I configure my server wrong?

You just have to create a remoteinstallation package for each product of Kaspersky. For example one package for workstations, one for fileserver and one for fileserver enterprise edition. After creation you should roll out those packages on the PCs and servers, where protection is needed.

KAV 4 Workstation = all client operating systems
KAV 4 Fileserver = NT4, 2000 server, 2003
KAV 4 Fileserver EE = 2008, and other server operating systems if citrix, windows terminalserver or clustering services are installed.

I understand but it doesn't really answer my question.


I am just curious why the Application name in the new task wizard is called "kaspersky administration kit".

It's misleading as I do not want to deploy the admin kit... So I wonder if there's a different reason for that.

Thanks!

Ah ok... no, it's ok.

Because the applications is installed by the administration kit, the application you have to choose is administration kit, wether you want to deploy workstation, fileserver or something else.

Thank you for the reply..

What's *really* confusing is that I can install Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Servers through the Kaspersky Administration Kit, or by selecting it in the application choices seen in the first screenshot.

Is there a technical difference how I do it?

You're just able to install KAV 4 Fileserver over a task where application is "administration kit" and task type is "product deployment task". If choosing KAV 4 Fileserver as application you just can create tasks for update, virusscan and stuff...
