Preparing Stations

To install Dr.Web KATANA on stations, review the following requirements:

The Network Discovery option must be enabled on the computer together with Dr.Web KATANA Business Edition if you want to find stations in the network using this method.

Station must be accessible through the network.

The user account which is used to connect to stations must exist and have all necessary administrative privileges.

If a remote computer is protected by a firewall, the following settings should be performed.

If you use Windows Firewall, in its settings click Additional Settings, select Inbound Rules and turn on the following exceptions for the firewall Private profile: Netlogon Service (NP-In) and File and Printer Sharing (SMB-In). However, if the station is in the domain, the exceptions should be turned on for the Domain profile.

If you use other firewalls it is necessary to open port 445.

Additional configuration is required (see below).

Before starting anti-virus scans, make sure you have usernames and passwords of administrative accounts on all stations.

Preparation of a remote operating system must be performed with administrator privileges.

Advanced Settings

To install Dr.Web KATANA on stations, review the following additional requirements:

The User Account Control (UAC) restrictions must be disabled if the station is running Windows Vista or later operating system. You do not need to perform this setting, if you work under the built-in Administrator account. If so, skip this step.

All necessary network services must be installed and configured properly.

Sharing settings must enable advanced configuration.

Classic sharing and security model for local accounts must be configured.
