2.1  Windows Operating Systems

Administration Console is installed along with the Kerio Control and/or the Kerio Connect (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 Kerio Control Monitor or Kerio Connect 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 directory

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

(on Windows 2000/XP/2003), or

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

(on Windows Vista).

File suffix depends on application for which it is created (.bkwf for Kerio Control and .bkms for Kerio Connect).

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-control-admin or with kerio-connect-admin).

Hint

You can download the installation packet of Administration Console for Kerio Connect from the Integration page (http(s)://server_name/integration/). Thus you get the Administration Console version corresponding to the version of your server.

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.
