In order to do it, 

select the 

Groups 

node in the console tree, open the shortcut menu and 

select the 

Install 

command or use the analogous command from the 

Action 

menu. This will launch the group deployment task creation wizard 

described above, however, this wizard will not include the task type and 
computer group selection steps. Follow its instructions. 

4.1.7. Configuring the deployment task 

Deployment tasks are configured the same way as any task (details see 
Reference Book for Kaspersky Administration Kit). Provided below is a detailed 
discussion of settings specific for this type of tasks provided on the 

Settings 

tab. 

If you are editing a task that will perform forced installation (see Figure 40), you 
can: 

• 

determine whether you have to reinstall the application if it is already in-
stalled on the client computer; 

• 

specify the method to be used to deliver the files required to install the 
application to the client computer and specify the maximum number of 
simultaneous connections; 

• 

specify the number of attempts to perform the installation if the task is run 
based on schedule.
