Configuring the Light Agent for Windows installation package

To edit Light Agent for Windows installation package settings:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the console tree, select Additional -> Remote installation -> Installation packages.
  3. In the list of installation packages, select the Light Agent installation package and open the Properties: <installation package name> window in one of the following ways:
    • By double-clicking.
    • Right-click to open the context menu and select Settings.
    • Using the Configure installation package settings link located to the right of the task list in the section with installation package settings.
  4. In the Settings section, you can edit the Light Agent for Windows installation settings that were configured during installation package creation, and perform the following actions:
    • Specify the Light Agent components that must be installed on the protected virtual machine:
      • If the check box next to the name of a component is selected, Kaspersky Security will install this component on the virtual machine. If the component is already installed, no changes are made.
      • If the check box is cleared next to the name of a component, Kaspersky Security removes the component. If the component was not installed, no changes are made.
    • Select the Installation on the template for temporary VDI pools check box. It is recommended to select this check box if the installation package is intended for installing Light Agent to a temporary virtual machine template that will be used to create a VDI infrastructure of one of the following types:
      • Citrix XenDesktop random catalog.
      • Citrix XenDesktop static catalog with the use of Citrix Personal vDisk.
      • Citrix XenDesktop static catalog without saving changes made by the user.
      • Automated pool of VMware Horizon View of the linked clone type.

      If the check box is selected, updates that require restarting the protected virtual machine will not be installed on virtual machines created from this template. On receiving updates that require restarting the protected virtual machine, Light Agent sends a message to Kaspersky Security Center informing it that the databases and application modules need to be updated on the protected virtual machine template.

      It is not recommended to select the Installation on the template for temporary VDI pools check box if the installation package will be used for installing Light Agent to a temporary virtual machine template that will be used to create a VDI infrastructure of one of the following types:

      • Citrix XenDesktop static dedicated catalog with the use of local drives.
      • Automated pool of VMware Horizon View of the full clone type.
    • Select the Ensure compatibility with Citrix Provisioning Services check box. It is recommended to select this check box if the installation package is intended for installing Light Agent to a virtual machine on which Citrix Provisioning Services technology is used.

    Except for the Settings section, all sections in the Properties: <installation package name> window are identical to the standard sections used in Kaspersky Security Center. See Kaspersky Security Center manuals for descriptions of standard sections.

  5. Click OK in the Properties: <installation package name> window.
