Configuring general settings of Kaspersky Thin Client through the Web Console
In the Web Console, you can configure general settings for one device or for a group of devices running Kaspersky Thin Client.
How to configure general settings for one device
- In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Managed devices.
- Click the name of the device where Kaspersky Thin Client is running. You can view the device name in the control panel of the Kaspersky Thin Client interface. If the computer name is not on the list, add it to the Managed devices group. You can also manage devices that have not yet been added to the managed devices group by selecting Discovery & deployment → Unassigned devices.
If a managed device is added to an administration group and an enforced policy is configured for the settings of this group, the settings that were individually configured for this device will not be applied.
- In the window that opens, select the Applications tab.
- Click the name of the Kaspersky Security Management Suite web plug-in.
This opens a window containing information about Kaspersky Thin Client.
- Select the Application settings tab.
- Select the General section (see the figure below).

The new ID in the thin client name will be created after the device is synchronized with Kaspersky Security Center.
