During Kaspersky Security installation, services of MSExchangeTransport and MSExchangeIS will need to be restarted. Services will be restarted automatically without additional prompts.
You can install the application by running the Setup Wizard, which guides you through every step of the setup process. The Back and Next buttons can be used to navigate between the screens of the Setup Wizard. The Cancel button allows you to exit the setup wizard.
When installing from the command line, defaults can differ from defaults that are configured when installing using the Setup Wizard.
Before running the application installation, make sure that you have completed all the required preparations.
The first time Kaspersky Security is installed in an organization, the Application Setup Wizard automatically adds the account of the computer running the installation to the KSE Administrators group in Active Directory. You will have to add a computer account to the KSE Administrators group if you intend to manage Kaspersky Security through Kaspersky Security Center.
To create accounts and ensure a high level of security, you must configure a domain password policy in Active Directory.
We recommend setting a password that meets the following conditions:
- The password must be at least 8 characters long.
- The password must contain characters from at least three of the following types:
- uppercase (A-Z)
- lowercase (a-z)
- numbers (0-9)
- special characters (! $ #%).
- A blocking threshold must be defined, which is the number of times a user can enter an invalid password before their account is blocked.
- We recommend setting a password verification delay to make it more difficult to brute-force the password.
- We recommend that you use third-party tools to verify the strength of the password. The password is considered strong enough, if verification results confirm that the password cannot be guessed for at least 6 months.
If installation has already been performed on at least one computer in the enterprise network, all you need is a local administrator account to install an identical application version to other enterprise computers. In this case, the user account used for application setup must be granted permissions to read the Microsoft Exchange configuration from the following Active Directory container and all its child objects:CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<root domain>
To start installation of the application using the Setup Wizard:
Run the installation file from the application installation package.
