2.1  Windows Operating Systems

Administration Console is installed along with the Kerio WinRoute Firewall and/or the Kerio MailServer (represented by the Administration Console component in the custom installation). At the server, it is not necessary to use the installation package to install Administration Console.

Administration Console can be started form the Start → Programs→ Kerio → Kerio Administration Console menu from the WinRoute Engine Monitor or Kerio MailServer Monitor context menu (for details, see guides referring to corresponding products).

Files location

The Administration Console installation file is stored in the Admin subdirectory of the directory where Kerio Technologies products are installed (typically C:\Program Files\Kerio\Admin).

The Administration Console's executable file (kadmin.exe) as well as individual administration modules (wradmin*.exe and mailadmin*.exe) and relevant dynamic libraries (*.dll) are stored in the directory.

The translations subdirectory includes localization files (*.qm) and the help subdirectory contains help files in the HTML Help format (*.chm).

Bookmarks (login data for individual servers) are saved in corresponding user profiles (each user has an own set of bookmarks). Each bookmark is saved in a separate file in the C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Kerio\Admin directory (in case of the Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating systems), or

C:\Users\user\Application Data\Kerio\Admin

(in case of the Windows Vista operating system), respectively.

C:\Documents and Settings\uzivatel\Application Data\Kerio\Admin.

File suffix depends on application for which it is created (.bkwf for Kerio WinRoute Firewall and .bkms for Kerio MailServer).

Installation of the Administration Console for remote administration

For remote administration of a server application, only the Administration Console needs to be installed on the workstation. For this purpose, use the installation package of Administration Console for the corresponding product (the file name starts with kerio-kwf-admin or with kerio-kms-admin).

Tip

The installation package of the Administration Console for Kerio MailServer may be easily downloaded using the appropriate link on the Integration page (http(s)://server_name/integration/). This link always offers an Administration Console package matching the appropriate server version.

To run the installation, simply start a corresponding installation package. If an older version of Administration Console or Administration Console for another product is already installed at the workstation, it is not recommended to change the default installation directory!

If the Administration Console has been installed successfully, you can run it through Start → Programs → Kerio → Kerio Administration Console.
