The components Administration Server and/or Administration Console can be either installed or updated remotely via the remote install task.

In order to install/update version of the Administration Server/ Console, do the following:

1. Create a “response file” when installing the Administration Server/ Console. 

It is important to know, that: 

• If you want to install Administration Console only, uncheck Kaspersky Administration Server in the Select components dialog window during the installation.

• When creating a "response file" to install/update the complex, use the actual/updated complex version.

Example, version 6.0.515 installed on a remote computer should be updated remotely to version 6.0.820. In order t create a “response file” to update the complex, choose a computer and do the following on it:

1. install on it version 6.0.515 

2. unpack distributive of version 6.0.820

3. to create a “response file” run the file setup.exe with special parameters

As a result a “response file” will be created on this computer to update version 6.0.515 to 6.0.820.

• Path to the Server database, specified during the installation, is given in the “response file”. But if necessary the path in the “response file” to the Server database can be changed as well as the database name:

svSQLServerName=(local)

svSQLDatabaseName=KAV

2. Create an installation package to install based on the file ak6.kpd from the complex distributive

 If an installer is a self-extracting archive (kasp6.0_adminkitru.exe), unpack it by an archivator.

3. Copy the “response file” to the packages folder (Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Administration Kit\Share\Packages\1093 6.0.XXXX\exec)

4. Create and run the product deployment task based on the created package.

Before you install Kaspersky Administration Kit make sure you have the software to create the Administration Server database installed and running.

Creating “response files"

To create a response file, run the setup file with special commands and run Kaspersky Administration Kit installation. As a result a plain text file with the setup parameters will be created; the setup parameters specified in the file will be applied during the installation. It will be a “response file” which can be used to install/ update Kaspersky Administration Kit version on other computers.

To create a „response file“:

1. Make sure you have the software to create the Administration Server database installed and running.

2. To start creating a „response file“, run the complex installation from the command prompt with special parameters:

setup.exe /r /f1"C:\setup.iss",

where C:\setup.iss is a full path to a “response file”.

When executing the task, installation of Kaspersky Administration Kit will run. During the installation process you should select the necessary for installation parameters. When the installation process is over (once the Finish button is clicked) 

• Kaspersky Administration Kit will be installed on the computer 
• A “response file” for further silent-installations will be ready

How to install the complex remotely in silent-mode without the remote install task

The created “response file” can be used both for remote installation/update of the complex component version not only with the help of remote install task. Another way/method to execute the process is to run a setup file on a remote computer with the special parameters.

To run silent installation of Kaspersky Administration Kit, run the following command:

setup.exe /s /f1"C:\setup.iss",

 where C:\setup.iss – is a full path to the created “response file”.
