	How to use Group Policy to remotely install software Download Network Agent distributive to install via MSI

1. download and unpack the file kasp6.0.1XXX_netagentmsien.exe to a separate folder. This file resides in the same folder in which Kaspersky Administration Kit distributive does.

2. create an installation package for the Network Agent based on the downloaded and unpacked distributive. When creating an installation package Administration Server data are added to MSI-installer. These data cannot be modified when installing.

3. use this installation package to install the Agent using MSI. The folder with the setup files resides in the folder Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Administration Kit\Share\Packages\NetAgent 6.0.XXXX (by default).

Beginning from version 6.0 the Network Agent installed via MSI-installer can be upgraded either by product deployment task (via Kaspersky Administration Kit), locally or via group policies.
