Updating iOS MDM Server using a remote installation task or locally

Kaspersky Security Center Web Console lets you update iOS MDM Server using a remote installation task or locally on a device.

Please note that you will not be able to specify the iOS MDM Server settings during the update. The settings are configured in the iOS MDM Server installation package properties.

To update iOS MDM Server using a remote installation task:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Mobile → iOS MDM Servers.
2. Click Update.

   The New task wizard starts. Proceed through the wizard using the Next button.

3. In the New task settings window that opens:
   1. In the Task name field, specify a custom name for the task, if necessary (The default name is Update iOS MDM Server).
   2. In the Devices to which the task will be assigned group of settings, the device on which iOS MDM Server is installed will be displayed.
4. At the Installation packages step, specify the following settings:
   1. In the Select installation package field, select the configured iOS MDM Server installation package.
   2. In the Force installation package download group of settings, select the Using Network Agent check box to distribute the files that are required to update iOS MDM Server via Network Agent.
   3. In the Maximum number of concurrent downloads field, specify the maximum allowed number of client devices to which Administration Server can simultaneously transmit the files.
   4. In the Maximum number of installation attempts field, specify the maximum number of times the installer will be allowed to run.
   5. Specify the additional settings:
      • Click the Do not re-install application if it is already installed check box. The application will not be re-installed if it has already been installed on this device.
      • Click the Verify operating system type before downloading check box. Before transmitting the files to devices, Kaspersky Security Center checks if the installation utility settings are applicable to the operating system of the device. If the settings are not applicable, Kaspersky Security Center does not transmit the files and does not attempt to install the application. For example, to install some application on devices of an administration group that includes devices running various operating systems, you can assign the installation task to the administration group, and then enable this option to skip devices that run an operating system other than the required one.
5. At the next step of the wizard, you will be asked to select the action that will be performed if the application installation prompts you to restart the operating system. Select the Do not restart the device option or skip this step, as it does not apply to the Linux operating system.
6. At the Select accounts to access devices step, choose the No account required (Network Agent installed) option. If this option is selected, you do not have to specify the account under which the application installer will be run. The task will run under the account under which the Administration Server service is running. If Network Agent has not been installed on devices, this option is unavailable.
7. At the Finish task creation step, click the Finish button to create the task and close the wizard.

iOS MDM Server is updated using the remote installation task.

To update iOS MDM Server locally, follow the steps described for Local installation of iOS MDM Server on a device via installation package using the newer version of the installation package.
