This helps us to remain one step ahead of the competition and provide our users with the most reliable protection from new types of attack.


Creating a Package with Custom Database Location This section outlines steps to be taken to create a custom package that will install on a thawed partition (eg: we use E: in this example). This gives us the ability to create the package in the Kaspersky Administration Kit with a new installation path, and custom location for database signatures Initial Installation:

Step 1: Administration Kit – created new Network Agent and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows Workstations installation packages with E:\ drive designated as installation location

Step 2: Create a small registry key and copy into the Exec folder of the package: C:\Program Files\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Administration Kit\Share\Packages\KAVWKS6 6.0.4.1212\exec\ by default.

Registry key: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

© 1997-2010 Kaspersky Lab ZAO. All Rights Reserved.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP80\environment] "DataRoot"="e:\\dataroot"

This is for example only – you can s et this up to refer to any dri ve letter and folder s o long as they match with entries in the example batch fi le below.

Step 3: Create new installation package with a small batch file to copy over the relevant licensing information and initial folder contents to correct installation drive. @echo off del /Q e:\dataroot\*.* xcopy "%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP60MP4\" e:\dataroot\ /E /Q

Step 4: Run the installation package from step 1. Once this has finished run the Batch file installation package from step 3.

Step 5: Reboot still thawed and run an update on the workstation .

Step 6: Reinstate Deep Freeze and reboot the machine.

Future updates should go straight onto (in this case) the E:\dataroot drive in incremental stages. In order to make sure that the machines are always up to date schedule an update task to occur with the ‘Run missed tasks’ option in the schedule tab ticked so that the first thing that machines will do when the reboot is to do

an update check. Updates will be incremental with the manifest list and all current updates safely stored on drive E:\. Until the machine has run through the update check it will appear in the Admin Kit with the date of the first update (installation date if step 5 is followed above).


Manually Specifying Database Location This section outlines how you can change the location of our stored threat signatures onto a thawed partition, while Kaspersky Antivirus for Windows Workstation MP4 is already installed. To do so, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a registry patch file with the following contents (save it as kav-deepfreeze.reg or something similar): *note* we are using e:\ as our thawed partition in this situation – please change it to one that relates to your environment

Registry key: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KasperskyLab\protected\AVP80\environment] "DataRoot"="e:\\dataroot"

Step 2: Disable Self Defense in Settings > Options > uncheck Enable Self Defense

Step 3: Run the registry file on the client machine

Step 4: Create and run the following batch file to copy bases over to your new folder @echo off del /Q e:\dataroot\*.* xcopy "%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Kaspersky Lab\AVP60MP4\" e:\dataroot\ /E /Q * note* Be sure to specify in the batch file the same location you used for the DataRoot key in the registry file you created.

Step 5: Run your updater from the application interface.
