Expand all | Collapse all

You must have a valid license to install applications on Microsoft Azure virtual machines.

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console supports the following scenarios:

• A client device is discovered by means of Azure API; the installation is also performed by means of an API. Using the Azure API means that you can only install the following applications:
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows
  • Kaspersky Security for Windows Server
• A client device is discovered by means of Azure API; the installation is performed by means of a distribution point or, if there are no distribution points, manually by using standalone installation packages. You can install any application supported by Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console in this way.

To create a task for remote installation of an application on Azure virtual machines:

1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Tasks.
2. Click Add.

   The New task wizard starts.

3. Follow the instructions of the wizard:
   1. Select Install application remotely as the task type.
   2. On the Installation packages page, select Remote installation by Microsoft Azure API.
   3. When selecting the account to access devices, use an existing Azure account, or click Add and enter the credentials of your Azure account:
      • Azure Account Name

        Enter any name for the credentials you are specifying. This name will be displayed in the list of the accounts to run the task.

      • Azure Application ID

        You created this application ID on the Azure portal.

        You can provide only one Azure Application ID for polling and other purposes. If you want to poll another Azure segment, you must first delete the existing Azure connection.

      • Azure Application password

        You received the password of the Application ID when you created the Application ID.

        The characters of the password are displayed as asterisks. After you begin entering the password, the Show button becomes available. Click and hold this button to view the characters you entered.

   4. Select the relevant devices from the Managed devices\Cloud group.

After the wizard finishes, the task for remote installation of the application appears in the list of tasks.
