Installing Dr.Web Agent via the Personal Installation Package

To install Dr.Web Agent on protected stations via the personal installation package

1.Via the Control Center, create an account for a new station on Dr.Web Server.

2.Send the link to the Dr.Web Agent personal installation package for the corresponding operating system of the computer or mobile device to the station user if the user is installing Dr.Web Agent software on their own.

info

For easy delivering of installation and configuration files, you can use the Mailing of installation files function (detailed information is given in the Administrator Manual, p. Mailing of Installation Files) to email messages with corresponding files.

3.Install Dr.Web Agent on the workstation.

info

Local installation of Dr.Web Agent on workstations is described in the User Manual for corresponding OS.

warning

Dr.Web Agent must be installed by a user with the administrator rights on the computer.

 

If some anti-virus software is already installed on a workstation, then the personal installation package attempts to remove it before the installation starts. If the attempt fails, the user will have to uninstall the anti-virus software from the computer.

 

4.For stations under macOS, configure parameters of connection to Dr.Web Server locally.

After installation of Dr.Web Agent on stations under other supported systems via the personal installation package, additional configuring is not required. Parameters of connection to Dr.Web Server and authorization parameters are included into a personal installation package directly. After the Dr.Web Agent installation is complete, the station automatically connects to Dr.Web Server.

Creation of a New Station Account

To create a station account or several station accounts, use Dr.Web Security Control Center.

warning

When creating a station account, please note the name of Dr.Web Server specified in the following sections of the Control Center:

1.Administrating → Web server configuration → the Dr.Web Server address field. This parameter value is used when generating the link on the Dr.Web Agent installation package.

If the parameter value is not specified, when the DNS name (if available) or IP address of a computer on which the Control Center is opened, is used as a Dr.Web Server name to generate the link on Dr.Web Agent personal installation package download.

2.Administrating → Dr.Web Server configuration → the Network tab → the Download tab → the Dr.Web Server address field. This parameter value is specified in the Dr.Web Agent installation packages and defines to which Dr.Web Server Dr.Web Agent connects during installation.

If the parameter value is not specified, when creating an installation package of Dr.Web Agent, the name of the Dr.Web Server to which the Control Center connected is used. In this case, the Control Center must be connected to Dr.Web Server using the IP-address of the domain for which you create an account (Dr.Web Server address must not be specified as a loopback—127.0.0.1).

To create a new station account via Dr.Web Security Control Center

1.Select the Anti-virus network item in the main menu of the Control Center.

2.In the toolbar, click icon-add-object Add a network object → icon-add-station Create station option. A pane for the new station account creation will be opened in the right part of the Control Center window.

3.In the Number entry field, specify the number of accounts to be created.

4.In the Identifier field, unique identifier of created station will be generated automatically. You can edit it, if necessary.

5.In the Name field, specify the station name that will be displayed in the anti-virus network hierarchical list. Further, after the station is connected with Dr.Web Server, this name can be automatically changed to the station name which is specified locally.

6.In the Password and Confirm Password fields you can specify a password for accessing Dr.Web Server by a station. If the password is not specified, it will be generated automatically.

info

When creating more than one account, Identifier, Name and Password (Confirm Password) fields are set automatically and cannot be changed at the stage of station creation.

7.In the Description field, specify additional information about the customer. This parameter is optional.

8.In the Groups section, specify groups in which the created station will be included.

In the Membership list, you can configure the list of user groups to which the station will be added.

By default, a newly created station is included in the Everyone group. If custom groups are available, you can include the newly created station in these groups without limiting the number of groups the station can be included in. To do this, click Edit icon-general-edit, set the flags next to the user group names in the Membership list and click Apply.

info

You cannot exclude stations from the Everyone group and from a primary group.

To set a primary group for the station you are creating, click the appropriate group icon in the Membership list. A number 1 icon overlay will appear on the group icon.

In the Policy list, you can set a policy from which the created station will inherit its settings.

The list becomes available when the Use policies flag is set in the Administration → Dr.Web Server configuration section on the General tab.

By default, the policy is not set. To specify the policy, click icon-general-edit, set the flag next to the necessary policy and click Apply. The station inherits its settings from the current version of this policy. A station cannot have more than one policy assigned to it.

In the Profile list, you can set an Application Control profile which will be applied to the station being created.

By default, the profile is inherited from the parent group of the station. To select a profile for the station, click Edit icon-general-edit, set the flag next to the profile you need and click Apply. Multiple profiles can be applied to a station.

9.In the Dr.Web Proxy Server section, you can configure the settings of Dr.Web Proxy Server connected with this station.

If you want to install Dr.Web Proxy Server on the creating station, set the Create linked Dr.Web Proxy Server flag and specify the parameters of Dr.Web Proxy Server. The parameters are the same as when creating a Dr.Web Proxy Server.

info

When creating a station account, a Dr.Web Proxy Server account will be created in the Control Center. After the settings are transferred to the station, Dr.Web Proxy Server will be installed on this station in the background. Dr.Web Agent will connect to Dr.Web Server only through the installed Dr.Web Proxy Server. The Proxy Server usage will be transparent for the user.

10.Specify parameters of the Security section, if necessary. Parameters of this section are described in the Administrator Manual, in the Security section.

11.Specify parameters of the Location section, if necessary.

12.Click Save in the upper right corner. The opened pane contains information about successful creation of a station, its ID and the following links:

The Installation package item contains the link for downloading the Dr.Web Agent personal installation package for this station.

In the Configuration file item—the link for downloading the file with settings of connection to Dr.Web Server for stations under Android, macOS and Linux operating systems.

info

After a new station has been created, before the operating system of a station is set, in the section of distribution kit downloading, the links are presented separately for all OS that are supported by Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite.

 

Link for the Dr.Web Agent personal installation package downloading is also available:

in station properties after its creation,

in the Selected objects section for the station selected in hierarchical list.

 

To obtain personal installation packages for operating systems other than Windows, download the corresponding Dr.Web enterprise products from the GUS servers to the repository after installing Dr.Web Server.

You can find the detailed information on how to handle the Dr.Web Server repository in the Administrator Manual, the Administration of Dr.Web Server Repository section.

The Password item contains the password to access this station to Dr.Web Server. To view the password, click icon-show-password.

The Proxy Server password item contains the password to access the Proxy Server to Dr.Web Server, if the station is created with the connected Proxy Server (see step 9).

The Install button is intended for remote installation of Dr.Web Agent Software via Dr.Web Security Control Center.

13.Installation of Dr.Web Anti-virus on workstations is described in the User Manual for corresponding OS.
