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 ).

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 ).
