CHAPTER 1. KASPERSKY

ADMINISTRATION KIT
1.1. Purpose, structure and main
functions
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 or remove Kaspersky Lab applications across a network connec-
tion to computers within the network. This feature enables the administra-
tor to copy the required set of Kaspersky Lab's applications to a selected
computer and then deploy these applications on the network computers.
•
Ensure remote centralized management of Kaspersky Lab applications.
This feature enables the administrator 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 separate buildings or offices. This fea-
ture 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
.
