15 INSTALLING KASPERSKY ADMINISTRATION KIT Before starting the setup process, make sure that the hardware and software of the host computer meet the requirements for the Administration Server and Administration Console (see section "Hardware and software requirements" on page 9 ). Kaspersky Administration Kit stores its information in an SQL server database. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is installed for that purpose by default together with Kaspersky Administration Kit. Other SQL servers can also be used for data storage (see section "Hardware and software requirements" on page 9 ). In that case they must be installed on the network before Kaspersky Administration Kit setup. Installation of Kaspersky Administration Kit requires administrator's privileges on the computer where the installation is performed.

The ports that Kaspersky Administration Kit uses by default are listed in the table below. Table 1. Ports used by Kaspersky Administration Kit
