Once you have launched the administration console, use the Quick Start Wizard – it will help you to create basic settings and tasks. You can change each setting later or delete it and run the Quick Start Wizard (Administration Server > Action > All tasks > Quick Start Wizard) again.








Close the wizard using the “Finish” button. Before deploying the product, it’s advisable to modify the settings based on your business needs; then perform the installation on workstations and servers separately.

How to create groups

Create groups in Managed Computers, e.g., Installation, Stations, Servers. Each group can have separate Tasks and Policies in KSC. Both the NA and KES11 installation packages are the same for all Windows platforms. The installation is then performed within one group (can be divided into two groups; first the NA installation and then the second group to install KES11). Once the installation process has finished, you can move stations and servers and put them into groups in Managed Computers, if necessary.

HOW TO INSTALL KASPERSKY NETWORK AGENT AND KASPERSKY ENDPOINT SECURITY 11 FOR WINDOWS ON WORKSTATIONS AND SERVERS
Automatic installation


In every group, you can define which installation packages will be automatically installed on each station within the group. To demonstrate the procedure, we will automatically install Kaspersky Network Agent and Kaspersky Endpoint Security 10 for Windows. Once a station or a server has been moved to this group, the installation process starts automatically.
Manual installation
If you don’t want to utilize the automatic installation feature on all computers, cancel these automatic package installations and move the computers to a group of your choice. Once Kaspersky Network Agent has been installed, you can create a task to be run on each computer within the group. NA is already installed on the computers where the task has run, and the installation process won’t repeat.








How to install using a predefined, fully automated installation package

To create a fully automated installation package, e.g., for Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 for Windows, including Kaspersky NA, use the “Create stand-alone installation package” option. The fully automated package can contain the licence key and predefined settings – further information.
