[2 suggestions for KSC]

Dear Kaspersky employees,

    I think there are two modifications that need to be added to KSC features:

1) The "Key Usage" report should be more intelligent in a way that the KSC server would recognize aggregated number of devices using the license. Now, if you add a single purchased license in both forms of "activation code" and "key file" (provided by supplier), KSC server will consider them separately with two different SN. This is a shortcoming since you will NOT be notified the excess use of license!

 

2) In the KSC Web Console, on the main dashboard, it is much better to make it possible to assign a custom title to widgets in order to enhance readbility.

 

Thanks for your kind attention,

 

 

 

[License usage on KSC]

@ElvinE5

Hi,

I found out the problem. As a matter of fact, there have been some devices which are depricated and moved to "Unassigned Devices". KSC still take them into account and consider them in "Kasperky Licenses" whereas web console only counts the devices in "Managed Devices" section. I deleted deprecated devices and now both reports are the same.

Thank you very much @ElvinE5

I will check it in the future.

Hi. Sure.

Please see the picture below (also attached):

I wanted to activate KSWS on my servers. But KSWSs were not getting activated using activation code. Hence, I asked the supplier to provide me with the corresponding key file. Then I added it to the repository as well. Now, as you can see, there are differences between usage shown on web console and on KSC. Besides, I have to keep total usage of them manually because they are actually one license. These are my issues while coping with key usage. I would be thankful if you could help me.

 

Thanks

Actually something is confusing me. When I use "Report on usage of license keys" on "Administration Server\Reports" section the statistics is different from those is shown on "Kasperky Licenses" section. Why would they be different!

Thanks in advance

Yes it is. Kaspersky Lab is quite loyal to this issue, but you must understand that this is a violation of the agreement of use. choose one activation method and stick to the total number of devices according to the contract - otherwise, this can most likely become a license revocation ... although this is extremely rare.

Please consult with your Kaspersky Lab manager on this matter.

Actually I asked it in order to avoid unwanted license agreement violation. Thanks for your help.

 

@ElvinE5

However, why is not there any mechanism on KSC to detect it? It is so critical and necessary for Kaspersky admins in corporates. Now, I have to keep the total usage of my license in two forms manually.

 

[License usage on KSC]

Hi,

    I have a license added to repository on KSC in forms of activation code and key file as well. It seems KSC is not detecting the total number of used license s correctly. Now the license limit is 100 devices whereas there are 100 devices activated using activation code and 50 clients are activated using the key file corresponding to the activation code. How can I check the real usage of my purchased license? (The numbers are for example in this post)

Thanks

[KSC Web console not updating some statistics]

Thanks @ElvinE5

I got it. Actually I changed the default. I was thinking resetting virus count would override the statistics on web console. Now it is clear to me.

Appreciate your help

[KSC Web console not updating some statistics]

Hi,

    On KSC Web Console, there is a widget showing "most heavily infected devices" with number of threats. When I reset the virus counter on those devices thery are still on top of the list. Does it take more time to refresh?

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

[Stand-alone installer / update server config]

Hi,

    I have a few servers outside of my network. Can I create application stand-alone installers for those servers in a way that they retrieves updates from Kaspersky online servers?

 

Thanks for your help

[OInstall.exe in KasperskyLab directory as a threat]

Hi,

    Among active threats in my KSC console there are lots of OInstall.exe files in the directory "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\KES\Temp\...". Are they really infected files?! Is KSC defining its files as threats?!

 

Thanks in advance

[Adminkit folder storage]

Thanks @ElvinE5

   I also searched deeply about this issue. The files won't be deleted. I hope the free disk space will not decrease after modifying the policy settings. 

 

[Adminkit folder storage]

Hi,

    I deleted the files manually but they have been creates again. I decided to decline updates in the list, however I was prompt that I need a license for Vulnerability and Patch Management.

[Adminkit folder storage]

@ElvinE5

Nothing changed after several hours. Inevitably, I moved the files to another place in order to free up storage. It is really weird why this is not working on the console.

Thanks for your help

[Adminkit folder storage]

Hi @ElvinE5

    I have selected all of them to be deleted for 2 days. But none of them have been deleted. I have also stopped all the tasks on the server to decrease its load. Do you think something is preventing the deletion procedure?

Thanks ,

[Adminkit folder storage]

Thank you so much @ElvinE5

[Adminkit folder storage]

Dear all,

    I have understood that the folder C:\ProgramData\KasperskyLab\adminkit\1093\.working\FTServer is using lots of space and is growing gradually. I am not using my KSC server as WSUS server. Does it suffice to uncheck the following settings?

Thanks in advance,

 

 

[Upgrading from KSC 12 to KSC 14]

Dear Friends,

    I am going to upgrade KSC 12 to KSC 14 in my environment. As far as I know, there will be no need to have downtime. Am I right? Are there any specific considerations which I should take into account? 

Thanks for your help

[KSC 14 New release - Tasks changed?]

Hi 

Thanks @ElvinE5

I forgot to pay attention to the "Tasks" on the left pane. I found them there. You are right. I appreciate your help.

?

[KSC 14 New release - Tasks changed?]

Dear Friends,

    I have just installed the latest version of KSC 14. I can not find the following tasks to create: 

* Administration Server maintenance

* Backup of Administration Server data

* Download updates to the Administration Server repository

 

Are they renamed or removed from the console in the latest version?

 

Thanks

 

[KLSHARE folder permission]

@ElvinE5

    I found the solution. At first, I decided to try another option. I created a remote installation package and also a stand-alone installer of Kavremover. In the "stand-alone packages" window I selected "Save as" and I could save another copy into "KLSHARE" folder. Finally, it turned out that KLSHAE folder can be modified when you access it through local directory (e.g. C:\....). But when you access it through UNC path, you won't be able to modify it. ?

[KLSHARE folder permission]

@ElvinE5

Actually, I want to put there some more Kaspersky tools like Kavremover, etc. Thanks for the information.

[KLSHARE folder permission]

@ElvinE5

Hi,

I have added my user to KLAdmin group, but I can't even copy file to the klshare folder! It is weird.

[KLSHARE folder permission]

Thanks @ElvinE5

[KLSHARE folder permission]

Dear Friends,

    Is it possible to change KLSHARE folder permissions in KSC console or it has to be set through OS?

Thanks
