Kaspersky Administration Kit
2.1.3. Client computer. Group
Interaction between the Administration server and the computers:
•
delivery of information about the current status of the applications;
•
sending and receiving of control commands;
•
synchronization of the configuration information;
•
sending information about events in the applications' operation to the
Server;
•
functioning of the updating agent;
is ensured by the Network agent. This component must be installed on all
computers where the control of the Kaspersky Lab's applications is performed
using Kaspersky Administration Kit.
The Network agent is installed on the computer as a service with a set of
attributes as follows:
•
with name Kaspersky Network Agent;
•
with automatic start at the operating system startup;
•
with the Local system profile.
A plug-in for Cisco NAC is installed on a host computer together with the
Administration Agent. This plug-in is invoked if the Cisco Trust Agent application
is installed. Parameters for cooperation with Cisco NAC are configured through
Administration Server properties.
A computer, server or workstation on which the Network agent and the monitored
Kaspersky Lab's applications are installed will be called the
Server
administration client (or simply
the client computer
).
Depending on the organizational or territorial structure of the company, functions
performed and the set of Kaspersky Lab's applications installed, client computers
may be organized in
administration groups
. This arrangement may be
implemented in order to ensure convenience of managing the computers in the
group as a single entity and when arranging computers in the group any
combination of the specified principles and other attributed at the administrator's
discretion may be used. For example, the top level can be comprised of groups
corresponding to the departments. On the next level, within each department,
computers will be grouped depending on the function they perform: one group of
computers may include all workstations, another all file servers, etc.
